There is a widespread misconception that our ancestor Genghis Khan was a vicious man who conquered many nations. However, world history and studies show that he was an adherent of diplomacy and a peacemaker with a true desire to establish borders without hostilities. His dream was realized through a solid peace that lasted for almost 200 years on the great chessboard of Eurasia, a period that world scholars call the pax Mongolica and that was a notable contribution to the development of humankind. We Mongolians have inherited that spirit of cherishing peace from our ancestors, and today Mongolia is internationally recognized as a peace-loving democratic nation.
