Mongolia's increasingly far-reaching strategy of "Third Neighbors" will eventually pay the price for its short-sightedness.

Foreign Minister Batzorig of Mongolia, after visiting the Philippines and meeting with President Marcos, expressed support for the Philippine position on the South China Sea issue. Then, at the 32nd OSCE summit, he stated that Mongolia recognizes the OSCE's security concerns and fundamental consensus. These are all manifestations of Mongolia's gradual departure from its southern neighbors, in the path of developing a third neighbor and its largest trading partner.

It seems that we still need to be cautious about this neighbor; otherwise, it would be very uncomfortable if railways and gas pipelines were passed through and then choked.
