A Tsahar culture exhibition on vertically-written Mongolian languages was held at the headquarters of the United Nations (UN) in New York City, United States, from May 13 to May 17.

The exhibition displays various types of books, calligraphy, and paintings that feature vertically-written Mongolian language. Permanent representatives of more than 70 countries to the United Nations, as well as envoys and experts in Mongolian studies from Indiana University Bloomington attended the opening ceremony and visited the exhibition.

The exhibition is a major international cultural exchange event and demonstrates the achievements made in the preservation, protection, innovation, and development of Inner Mongolian traditional cultures. It also provides other countries with an opportunity to learn about Tsahar culture.
