Photos: Hillary Clinton in Mongolia

While I posted Mme. Secretary's pictures connected with speaking events in Mongolia today, I did not have a chance to share these depicting her stroll through Sukhbaatar Square with Mongolian Foreign Minister Gombojav Zandanshatar and Mongolian Ambassador to U.S. Bekhbat Khasbazar on her way to a greeting ceremony at the parliament building.  The huge statue is Chenggis Khan.  We also see her visiting with Mongolian President Tsakhia Elbegdorj at the President's Yurt (a traditional Mongolian building).  The democratically elected Elbegdorj is a Harvard grad.

















By the way, for a charming movie about Mongolian culture, see The Weeping Camel about a baby camel whose mother rejects him and will not feed him,  and two little boys who go to the city and convince a music teacher at the conservatory to go play violin music to convince the mom camel to nurse the baby.  It's lovely.  Every minute!
