Democrats are not the only people in Denver for the Democratic National Convention. Thanks to the help from the National Democratic Institute, nearly 500 foreign dignitaries are getting to observe the presidential nomination process up close. They have met with political leaders, visited the convention site and attended panels examining the future direction of American foreign policy.
NDI participant Khasbazaryn Bekhbat, Mongolia’s ambassador to the United States, said he enjoyed seeing the excitement in the convention hall, which he described as an impressive spectacle.
Like people in many countries around the world, Mongolians are following the presidential election closely, Bekhbat said. “We attach great importance to our relationship with the USA.” Mongolians hope that no matter who wins the election, the next administration will continue that relationship.
Bekhbat will also be visiting St. Paul, Minnesota, which hosts the Republican National Convention beginning September 1.
