Reliability Tier3
A crowd sourced encyclopedia article used here for a diplomatic and institutional timeline (relations from 4 April 1992, an Apostolic Prefecture rather than a diocese, the 2023 papal visit), independently corroborated by the widely reported first papal visit to Mongolia it also records, hence the lowest tier rather than exclusion.
