| | Mongolia's first multi-party elections for a People's Great Hural were held on July 29, 1990. | | | In addition to establishing Mongolia as an independent, sovereign republic and guaranteeing a number of rights and freedoms, the new constitution restructured the legislative branch of government, creating a unicameral legislature, the State Great Hural (SGH). | | | China is Mongolia’s chief export partner and a main source of the “shadow,” or “gray” economy. |
