Abstract
This study explores the potential for advancing Mongolia-Türkiye relations to the level of "Strategic Partnership" through a detailed examination of political interactions. Since the establishment of diplomatic ties in 1969, the relationship between the two countries has been characterized by high-level political visits, economic cooperation, and cultural exchanges. Despite these positive developments, there remains a significant gap in research concerning the mechanisms and strategies necessary to elevate the partnership to a fully-fledged strategic level. The article examines the key drivers of this evolving relationship, including diplomatic missions, mutual cultural interests, with a particular focus on high-level visits and their impact on the bilateral relationship. Through a review of historical milestones, and diplomatic engagements, this study offers insights into the current state of the partnership, challenges such as trade imbalances and economic dependence, and opportunities for future cooperation. Ultimately, the study concludes that the Mongolia-Türkiye relationship holds significant potential for advancement to a Strategic Partnership. By building on past achievements and leveraging shared cultural ties, trade, and tourism, the relationship could be strengthened, offering long-term mutual benefits for both nations.

Summary
In the latter half of the 20th century, Mongolia began establishing diplomatic relations with countries worldwide, including the Republic of Türkiye, with formal ties established on June 24, 1969. Prior to 1990, the relationship between the two countries remained limited due to their alignment with different political. Türkiye played a role in supporting Mongolia’s international aspirations, notably facilitating its membership in the United Nations in 1961 (Ates, 2024). While much has been written on the historical and diplomatic relations between Mongolia and Türkiye, detailed studies on advancing this relationship to a strategic partnership remain scarce. This study aims to fill this gap by exploring the potential for elevating the bilateral relationship to a strategic level. It will examine political relations since 1990, divided into four distinct periods of ten years each, focusing on high-level visits, key diplomatic milestones, and the evolving nature of the relationship. By analyzing Mongolia’s experiences with other strategic third neighbor partnerships, the study will explore the lessons learned and the importance of strengthening the partnership with Türkiye
