The Mongolian editions of the first volume of "Xi Jinping: The Governance of China" and "Up and Out of Poverty" were released at a China-Mongolia seminar on state governance here on August 30.

The event, co-organized by the Chinese State Council Information Office, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Mongolia, the China International Publishing Group and the Chinese Embassy in Mongolia, was attended by senior government officials of both countries.

Mongolian President Khaltmaa Battulga said in a congratulatory letter that President Xi Jinping's works reflect his insights and experiences in leading China and Chinese people on the road ahead.

Since the establishment of a comprehensive strategic partnership, bilateral relations between Mongolia and China have been increasingly active, and the friendship between the two peoples has continued to deepen, Battulga said.

The Mongolian president wished China more prosperity under the guidance of Xi.

Jiang Jianguo, deputy head of the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said in an address that the publication of the two books in Mongolia is a great gift from the translation and publishing circles of China and Mongolia for the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

In his speech, Chinese Ambassador to Mongolia Xing Haiming said that strengthening the exchange of experiences between the two countries in administering state affairs is an important consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries.

He expressed hope that the publication of Xi's books in Mongolia will help strengthen cultural exchanges between the two countries and promote common development.

Following the launching ceremony, experts and scholars from the two countries held in-depth discussions on the books at the seminar.
