The Ulaanbaatar Dialogue on Northeast Asian Security (UBD) has been held regularly since 2014 to contribute to the establishment of a dialogue mechanism within the region. However, due to the pandemic, the conference was canceled in 2020 and 2021 and resumed in 2022.
The international conference is not only in line with the Foreign Policy Concept of Mongolia but also highlights Mongolia’s historical tradition of multilateral co-operation efforts. The conference has been co-organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Institute for Strategic Studies of the National Security Council of Mongolia.
UBD2024 will be held in Ulaanbaatar from June 6-7, 2024. The conference consists of the following sessions:
Session One: Northeast Asian Security Challenges and Opportunities
Session Two: Multilateral Cooperation in Northeast Asia
Session Three: Climate change and Security challenges in Northeast Asia
Session Four: Secure and affordable energy transition in Northeast Asia
Session Five: Developing Sustainable and Resilient Value Chains for Critical Energy Transition Minerals
APF Canada's Vice-president Research & Strategy Vina Nadjibulla will be speaking at Session Two.
