The Court of Colonial Affairs (Manchu: Tulergi golo be darasa jurgan; Mongol: γadaγdu mongγul un törü-ji jasaqu jabudal-un jamun; Chinese: Lǐfànyuàn, 理藩院) was an agency in the Qing government which supervised the Qing Empire's Mongolian dependencies and its relations to Tibet. Prior to the establishment of the Zongli Yamen, the Court also supervised the empire's relation with Russia under the treaties of Nerchinsk and Kyakhta. The Court of Colonial Affairs was exlusively staffed with members from the Eight Banners. The predecessor of the Court was the Mongol Yamen (Manchu: Monggo jurgan).
