Mongolian Cabinet greenlights pension cooperation bill with Kazakhstan
During its regular session on October 15, 2025, the Cabinet of Mongolia approved the draft Law on ratifying the Agreement between the Government of Mongolia and the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan on Cooperation in the Field of Pensions and decided to submit it to the State Great Khural of Mongolia, MONTSAME reports.
Once the agreement enters into force, citizens of both countries will be able to combine their employment periods and social insurance contributions made in Mongolia and Kazakhstan to qualify for old-age pensions.
