Britain was the first Western country to recognise an independent Mongolia when diplomatic relations were established in January 1963 with appointment of the British Chargé d’Affaires in Peking, Mr Thomas Garvey, to Ulaanbaatar as non-resident Ambassador.  In 1964 Mr (later Sir) Reginald Hibbert became resident Charge d’Affaires in Ulaanbaatar.  He was succeeded by Mr Heath Mason, who was appointed as the first resident British Ambassador in 1966.  In 1968 Embassy, moved to a new building on Peace Avenue where it is still located today.
