Overview
- Organizers confirmed this year’s Naadam will feature 1,024 wrestlers, with the 1st–2nd rounds scheduled for July 10 at the Central Stadium and those rounds available free to the public; opening tickets went on sale online on July 1 and accessibility and parking prices were announced.
- Event integrity checks returned no positive preliminary doping results and organisers said they plan to buy Western‑accredited laboratory equipment next year to screen all wrestlers.
- Energy sector unions suspended a planned strike after the ministry accepted a phased wage‑fund increase that starts with an immediate raise to the wage pool and schedules further increases that together aim to reach a 30% rise, and unions delayed action for 48 hours to continue negotiations.
- An appeals court on July 1 upheld the convictions of Z. Enkhbold and B. Enkh‑Amgalan, converted two‑year prison sentences into fines of 40,000,000 MNT each, and kept a five‑year ban on holding public office.
- State projects and proposals advanced: the Occupational Diseases Clinic’s new eight‑storey facility and diagnostic equipment are now active, the Uhaa Zag afforestation project has planted about 100,000 seedlings across roughly 80 hectares with a 300‑hectare target, and an MP has tabled a bill proposing a one‑time grant of at least 50 small livestock to newly married young herder families.
