A Russian Army delegation has started a five-day visit to Mongolia to discuss preparations for a joint exercise, the Defense Ministry said on Monday.

The delegation, led by Maj. Gen. Valery Sharagov, chief of staff of a large combined-arms unit in the Eastern Military District, will conduct the first round of consultations on this year’s exercise, Selenga 2012.

It is due to be held on Russian territory.
