At the invitation of Speaker of the Parliament D. Amarbaysgalan, Susan Lines, President of the Senate of the Australian Parliament, along with Senate members, is on an official visit to Mongolia from October 16-19, 2024.
Today, on October 18, they visited the Rare and Valuable Books Museum of the National Library, where they explored Mongolia's intellectual heritage and unique, rare works. During the visit, Senate President Susan Lines remarked, "Mongolia is a beautiful, democratic country. I believe that the collection of the National Library is a symbol of the Mongolian people's independence and sovereignty. We have learned about your long history and culture. We are grateful to the members of the Mongolian Parliament for welcoming us so warmly. I am confident that the newly elected State Great Khural under the new electoral system will actively work to bring great progress to the development of the country."
This marks the first visit by an Australian Senate President to Mongolia. The delegation also learned about the "Libraries Without Borders" project, which is being implemented by the Australian government to support the development of local libraries.
The project, implemented from 2022 to 2023 in cooperation with the Australian Embassy, the National Library, and the Mongolian Library Association, enriched the collections of public libraries in all 21 provinces and the capital. It introduced best practices from Australia’s public libraries and trained over 800 library professionals. The project also expanded children's libraries with works of classical literature, science, education, and world-renowned literature.
The National Library's collection holds over 1.5 million valuable and rare cultural artifacts, manuscripts, and publications from Mongolia and other Asian countries, according to the Parliament's Press Office.
