The TSC and Galbadrakh discussed ways to offer educational opportunities to Mongolian Armed Forces members and tackle current security issues . The TSC focuses on Arctic security research and offers courses to countries with Arctic interests to build strong security networks .

This visit was just the beginning of involving the Mongolian Armed Forces in the TSC ' s programs , with a nod to their partnership with the Daniel K .

Their goal is to improve cooperation in the Arctic with allies and partners , and help maintain a stable and fair system .
