Tengrinews.kz - Akorda has released photographs of the meeting between Kazakhstan’s President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and officials at Ulaanbaatar International Airport.

At the ramp, Tokayev was greeted by an honor guard from the Mongolian Armed Forces. The soldiers were dressed in red and blue kaftans (robes) styled to resemble the attire of Genghis Khan’s personal guard. They wore helmets typical of that era, but instead of medieval weapons, they carried Soviet Simonov self-loading carbines.
