On October 14, Korea Aerospace University (KAU) invited Sukhee Sukhbold, Ambassador of Mongolia to the Republic of Korea, to Vision Hall to hold a “Live Responsibly” campaign for Mongolian international students.

The event was organized to help Mongolian international students better understand South Korea’s laws and regulations and continue their studies safely and responsibly. Attendees included Ambassador Sukhbold, Lombo Khash-Erdene, Director of Consular Affairs, and Secretary Otgonbaatar Dorjgotov. Representing KAU were President Heo Hee-young, Director of External Relations Kim Sang-woo, and representatives of Mongolian students currently enrolled at the university.

South Korea and Mongolia have maintained cooperation in various fields, including aviation and education, since establishing diplomatic relations in 1990. In particular, in 1992, the late Cho Choong-hoon, founder of Hanjin Group, donated a Boeing 727 aircraft to Mongolia free of charge. Since then, Hanjin Group has worked with Mongolia’s Ministry of Education to provide scholarship programs that enable Mongolian students to pursue their studies at Korea Aerospace University and Inha University.

Currently, more than 85 Mongolian students are enrolled at KAU, pursuing studies in various fields, including aviation and business administration. This year marks the 36th anniversary of diplomatic relations between South Korea and Mongolia, and bilateral cooperation continues to expand, including through a summit between the two countries and the adoption of a joint declaration in July. People-to-people and educational exchanges are also active: approximately 360,000 visits between the two countries were recorded in 2025, while around 18,000 Mongolian students were studying in South Korea.

Ambassador Sukhbold emphasized that Mongolian students should approach their studies diligently and responsibly, remembering that they represent Mongolia while living in South Korea. He particularly stressed the importance of complying with Korean laws and regulations, preventing legal problems and criminal incidents that may arise during their stay, and maintaining a stable academic life.

KAU President Heo Hee-young praised the excellence and diligence of Mongolian students enrolled at the university. He stated, “South Korea and Mongolia have maintained a long-standing cooperative relationship through aviation and education.” He added, “We hope that Mongolian students studying at our university will grow into key talents who connect the future of our two countries and contribute to Mongolia’s development.”

KAU plans to continue supporting Mongolian students in maintaining a stable university life and pursuing their studies. Building on its strengths in specialized aviation education, the university also plans to continuously expand cooperation between South Korea and Mongolia in aviation and education.
