A small but interesting group related to Bunduu Natsagdorj who headed the protocol department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of MPR from 1974-1990.

Attached are scans of the (incomplete) group and scans of table listing his full name and years (underlined) of directorship of the protocol department (Centenary history of Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Mongolia 1911-2011). He has been the main person responsible for the state and diplomatic protocol preparations during the visits of Brezhnev, Kim Il Song and many other socialist camp national leaders to Mongolia.

Very interesting!  Do you know what other awards he received?   Seem to recall that the Senegalese foreign minister visited Ulan Bator around 1986-7... and maybe an Egyptian delegation toured in the late 1970s.

No further info unfortunately but no doubt that he received many other awards (aside from achievements, he clearly was relatively high up plus appears to have had a long career).
