Warm greetings from Ulaanbaatar, the capital city of Mongolia!

The Northeast Asian Mayors’ Forum was first organized in Ulaanbaatar City in 2014, allowing participant cities to discuss solutions, exchange ideas and share knowledge and experiences on the arising issues of the cities and strengthen regional cooperation. The Forum was initiated and organized by the Ulaanbaatar City Government with the support of the Asia Foundation.

It is our pleasure to note that Ulaanbaatar City  successfully organized the NEAMFs in 2014, 2016, 2018, and NEAMF Thematic meeting in 2015 respectively. Past forums discussed a broad range of topics including sustainable, green and inclusive urban development, environmental issues, air pollution, water management, energy saving, urban economic development, investments, financial mechanisms for green development, eco-transportation and green infrastructure.

It is important to emphasize that the support, initiatives and involvement of participant cities are very significant for the further strengthening of the Forum and the expansion of regional cooperation.

We are pleased to announce the launch of the NEAMF Secretariat in September 2020 in accordance with the decision of the Third Northeast Asian Mayors’ Forum which was held in Ulaanbaatar city in 2018.

We are confident that sustainable operations of NEAMF as a result of our joint efforts,  will make a valuable contribution to our cities’ friendly relationship and  partnership in the  region.
