I definitely didnt know we had some of our troops in Afghanistan. The President of Mongolia Elbegdorj took part in the NATO Summit of Heads of State and Government on Afghanistan, in Lisbon, Portugal a few weeks ago on November 20, 2010. He paid a five day visit in Lisbon flying directly from Japan, where he also was passing the Mongolian-Japanese Strategic Partnership.
"The President of Mongolia informed noted that there are over 200 Mongolian troops are in Afghanistan and they have been fulfilling their duties to assist the people of Afghanistan with honor. He announced that Mongolia is going to study the possibilities to increase its troops in Afghanistan by sending army engineers, border patrol experts, rescue specialists specialized in calamity rescue, and organizing trainings by the experts and specialists in Afghanistan and the participants of the summit and the Secretary Generals of the United Nations and NATO received the news with gratitude."
This is pretty amazing; Mongolia now is the 45th country contributing to ISAF(International Security Assistance Force) by agreeing in NATO's terms.
