Provisional Government of Bangladesh – Mongolian People's Republic (1971–1992) relations

People's Republic of Mongolia—Bangla-Desh relations

BANGLA-DESH	MONGOLIA

When The World Stood Aside, the former People's Republic of Mongolia Backed the Republic of India In Recognising Bangladesh on the 3rd of December in 1971. In 1972, the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had instructed her envoys in New York to move a UN Resolution in the UN General Assembly seeking international so-called recognition of this newly-succeeded carved-out capitulated entity. After much Anti-Pakistani propaganda lobbying, only two countries succumbed to New Delhi’s Agendaic Resolution—Mongolia and Bhutan. Many nations, including the likes of China and the United States, had cast aspersions on the armed intervention by Modern India (backed by support from the erstwhile USSR) in support of Bangladesh’s secession from Pakistan and asked whether the secessionist entity was really independent.

Mongolia harboured no such doubts, and in fact, signaled to the UN General Assembly that it would co-sponsor New Delhi’s resolution. In response, Pakistan immediately cut off all diplomatic relations with Mongolia (During Indo-Pakistani War of 1971), but the Soviet Satellite state didn’t care.
