Mongolia and Brunei....

Sometimes things are unbelievable, sometimes they are predictable and sometimes they are somewhere in the middle, but still take you slightly by surprise.
I heard Monaco and Mongolia started diplomatic relations, because they where simply sitting next to each other (thanks to the alphabet) in a - undoubtedly extremely boring - international meeting. The connection with Brunei seems to be more of a religious issue, where the Islamic minority in the west of Mongolia has established contact with the small Sultanate. A parliamentary visit might take no one by surprise , but the announcement of a visit of president Enkhbayar certainly did.
