Mongolian Prez gifts horse to Indian Defense Minister

By Our Special Correspondent

Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, the first Indian to visit Mongolia, was on Wednesday gifted a majestic horse by President Ukhnagin Khurelsukh, seven years after Prime Minister Narendra Modi received a similar gift from the country's leadership.

"A special gift from our special friends in Mongolia. I named this amazing beauty 'Tejas'. Thank you, President Khurelsukh. Thank you Mongolia," Singh tweeted on Wednesday along with pictures of the white horse.

In one picture, Singh is seen admiring a seven-year-old Mongolian horse, while in another he holds a framed picture of an equine gift. Official sources in Delhi said that this horse will not be brought to India. "It's a symbolic gift. The horse will stay in Mongolia," the source said.
