Even as relations between Mongolia and Poland continue warming up, the news from Ulaanbaatar is that the visiting Polish president’s plane froze Tuesday on a Mongolian runway preventing his departure. 

President Lech Kaczynski arrived in Mongolia on Sunday as the first stop in an Asian tour. He met with top Mongolian officials, signed declarations for improving bilateral relations, and received an honorary doctorate degree from the National University of Mongolia. 

However, with temperatures of –10C, Kaczynski’s Polish government airplane was determined to be inoperative, temporarily delaying the presidential trip. 

Kaczynski’s party, including his wife, were transferred to a Mongolian aircraft to continue on to Japan. 

After being thawed out, the Polish government aircraft will catch up with the country’s president in Japan.
