The Naadam Festival is Mongolia's largest traditional folk festival, held every July to commemorate the country's freedom and independence. The Mongolian side invites high-level guests of honor to the festival each year, and this is the first time a Korean president has attended as the guest of honor.

President Lee and First Lady Kim Hye Kyung visited the festival stadium to experience Mongolian traditional culture firsthand. They demonstrated traditional archery, one of the events of the Naadam Festival, and watched Mongolian traditional games at the festival's game stadium.

Afterwards, President Lee and the First Lady will return to Korea upon completing a farewell luncheon hosted by Mongolian President Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh.
