Mongolian representative S. Danzan and D. Sukhbaatar, Mongolian War
Minister were sent by Bogd Khan as
negotiaters of the first Mongolian
international agreement since the ousting of Chinese occupiers during
the
Mongolian national revolution of 1921.
Mongol leaders worked hard to have their independence recognized by
Russia. To that end Mongolia sent its
envoys
to Russia to negotiate the
terms of its recognition. Thus in the winter of 1912 Foreign Minister M.
Khanddorj
visited Saint Petersburg (the then capital of Russia) and held
negotiations with Russian officials. In
December
of the same year, Russia
and China began talks on defining the future status of Mongolia.

of Bogd Khan. Five ministries ( for internal, foreign, finance, justice and
war affairs ) were set up to
run the
country.
