This XXI century is a nuclear century since our security, development and progress depends to a certain extent on how we humans are dealing with the nuclear issues. Mongolia, as member of the world family of nations, and especially sandwiched between two nuclear-weapon powers, is directly affected by nuclear issues. There is no escape. We have to make a choice either to be passively affected by the perils of nuclear age or play an active role, to the extent possible, in shaping our own future. That depends to a great extent on us, Mongolians.Nuclear issues could be addressed from the following angles: national security, security of the people’s health and environment and energy security.
