Tim Franks interviews President of Mongolia, Tsakhia Elbegdorj. As a democracy with a healthy economy Mongolia's big challenge is its relationship with neighbours China and Russia.
Tsakhia Elbegdorj has one of the most attractive-sounding political jobs on the planet. He's president of a democratic country which is forecast to grow ten per cent a year for the next decade, sitting on a vast reserve of mineral riches that have barely been tapped. That country is Mongolia. And here's where things get more complicated. Mongolia is sandwiched between two huge, hungry and authoritarian neighbours - China and Russia. Can his country maintain its transformation from one of the world's poorest to perhaps one of its richest - while remaining stable, free and fair?
