On 18 May 2018, Mongolian president Khaltmaagiin Battulga has urged new Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad to reopen investigations into the murder of a Mongolian model. In his congratulatory message to Mahathir on his appointment as Malaysia's seventh prime minister, Battulga described the 2006 murder as a "grave crime".[8][9][10][11]
In July 2018, Malaysia’s ambassador to China who is concurrently accredited to Mongolia, Zainuddin Yahya, said Malaysia is working to revive bilateral ties with Mongolia.[12]
