The Government of Mongolia established the Ministry of Digital Development and Communications in 2022 to implement its five-year plan to build a ‘digital nation’, harnessing data and technology to facilitate innovation, streamline public services and diversify the country’s mining-reliant economy, and appointed Uchral Nyam-Osor as the first Minister of Digital Development and Communications of Mongolia. He served as the Minister from 30 August 2022 to 10 July 2024.

Before that, Nyam-Osor worked as the chairman of the Standing Committee for Innovation and Digital Policy, aiming to create the necessary legal framework for accelerating digital transformation. He took an important role in drafting a set of digital development laws approved in 2020, including the laws on Personal Information Protection, Public Information, Cybersecurity, Digital Signatures, and Virtual Asset Service Providers. Therefore, during his time as the Minister of Digital Development and Communications, he continued focusing on enabling a legal framework for digital transition and dismantling regulatory barriers of paper-based bureaucracy. With his efforts 109 out of over 430 existing laws in Mongolia were amended eliminating those processes requiring physical presence and paper documentation at government offices.

As the Government of Mongolia declared 2023-2024 as the Years to Combat Corruption, the Ministry of Digital Development and Communications, under the leadership of Minister Uchral.N, initiated and launched the very first integrated transparency platform named “Glass” to build smart, digital and open governance without bureaucracy and free of corruption.  The platform enabled information on capital expenditure, performance, and funded projects, special funds of the Government. The platform has been accessed more than 13 million times and has raised several nationwide discussions particularly on the expenditure of government funds. Following strong public criticism, around 92 billion MNT, which equals over 27 million USD of loans, was paid back.

Nyam-Osor focused on developing digital economy cooperation with the United States, implementing a working visit to the U.S. from January 25 to February 1, 2024. During the visit, 34 meetings were held with representatives from both the U.S. government and private sector, focusing on diversifying relations in space science, the digital economy, and artificial intelligence. Uchral.N officially began integrating data from 8 leading Mongolian IT companies into the "Silk Road Innovation Center," part of a joint initiative with Central Asian countries. During his visit, the Information Technology Park of Mongolia signed a memorandum of cooperation with the Silk Road Innovation Center in Silicon Valley, creating a stable channel for future IT start-ups to grow in Silicon Valley. Following his visit to the U.S, SpaceX has officially started its Starlink services in Mongolia.

Nyam-Osor visited the United Arab Emirates twice in the capacity of the Minister of Digital Development and Communications. During his second visit in February 2024, he signed the memorandum of understanding for cooperation in artificial intelligence with Omar Al-Olama, the Minister of Artificial Intelligence of the UAE. He then received, on behalf of the Government of Mongolia, the “Global Government Excellence Award" at the World Government Summit in Dubai. This esteemed award recognizes governments that have successfully implemented e-transition initiatives based on new technologies and innovations, showcasing exemplary practices. Mongolia's efforts to enhance government services, simplify processes, increase transparency, and promote accessibility through the “Digital Nation - E-Mongolia” initiative have gained international acclaim as a model of excellence.

One of his latest achievements in the capacity of the Minister of Digital Development and communications, was signing a landmark agreement to construct a Mongolian national satellite telecommunications system with Thales Alenia Space, a major European satellite specialist during the Mongolian President’s state visit to France.
