Pension Cooperation Agreement Between Mongolia and Kazakhstan Enters into Force

The Agreement on Cooperation in Pension Matters between the Government of Mongolia and the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan has officially entered into force today.

The agreement, signed in Ulaanbaatar on October 29, 2024, was ratified by the State Great Khural of Mongolia on November 5, 2025. Following official confirmation from the Republic of Kazakhstan that all domestic legal requirements had been fulfilled, the agreement came into effect on April 1, 2026.

With the implementation of this agreement, citizens of both countries will be able to aggregate their periods of employment and social insurance contributions made in Mongolia and Kazakhstan to qualify for old-age pensions. In addition, Mongolian citizens will have the opportunity to receive funded pension benefits from Kazakhstan, thereby strengthening their social security protection.

With this development, Mongolia now has international social security agreements in place with seven countries.
