Importance The objective of the article is to make a systematized analysis of Mongolia's participation in the regional integration cooperation. Objectives The article deals with tasks consisting in identifying the trends of the Russian Mongolian and regional integration cooperation through an analysis of Mongolia's involvement into the regional integration cooperation. East Asia is a place, where interests of the States playing a significant role in the contemporary international economic and political relations coincide and overlap. The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) embarks on more active operations in the region and undertakes joint and collective responsibility for developing common approaches to and milestones of the integration process. I also should mention the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM), Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Shanghai Cooperation Association (SCO), Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), etc. The eastbound vector of the Russian politics embraces the region of East Asia. The area also becomes an arena for interests of the Western countries and USA, in particular. Methods To solve the above objective, the research applies the methods of logic and historical study, analysis and synthesis. As for the novelty, the article identifies the trends of Mongolia's participation in the regional integration cooperation. Results The research indicates that Mongolia is an active participant of the integration processes in the region. Mongolia develops economic ties with regional and sub-regional financial and economic structures, APEC and ASEAN. As its priority goal, Mongolia has always considered its membership in regional integration structures that play a leading role in ensuring an economic growth and cooperation, supporting trade and investment relations. Mongolia and Russia closely cooperate within the SCO, where Mongolia acts as the Observer State. Mongolia and Russia confirm that the SCO is a very important platform for developing good relationships among neighboring countries and versatile partnership of Central Asian States. Both countries are willing to activate, as part of the SCO, partnership in such priority areas as energy, transport, information technologies and communications, agriculture, in accordance with the Declaration on the Fifth Anniversary of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. Conclusions and Relevance I conclude that Mongolia always monitors the complicated situation and circumstances in the world. It attentively follows the Ukrainian conflict. I should mention that Mongolia deliberately adheres to a constructive point of view meaning that the situation should be resolved peacefully using political and diplomatic methods. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and the Russian officials have recently taken part in the Minsk meeting of the conflicting parties of Ukraine. As a result of the talks, the parties reached a drastic and critical solution on terminating the conflict in the eastern part of Ukraine. Mongolia entirely supports the solution.
