Southern Mongolia Concerns Raised After G7 Fails to Acknowledge Issue www.japan-forward.com

On April 10, the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) parliamentary group on Southern Mongolia held a meeting at the National Diet. At the meeting, the group confirmed its intention to urge the government to address human rights concerns in China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. It also agreed to call for the inclusion of these issues in future G7 summit communiques.
Recent summit communiques have mentioned Tibet, Xinjiang Uyghur, and Hong Kong. However, former Minister for Economic Security Sanae Takaichi, who chairs the group, criticized the omission. "Regrettably, there is no mention of Southern Mongolia," she said.
G7 Silence
Both houses of the Diet adopted resolutions in 2022 recognizing the "serious human rights situation" in Southern Mongolia. The resolutions also named Xinjiang, Tibet, and Hong Kong and described these issues as a threat to the international community.
Nevertheless, communiques from the 2023 Hiroshima Summit (hosted by Japan) and the 2024 Summit in Italy failed to mention Southern Mongolia. They did express concern over human rights in Tibet and Xinjiang, and called for the protection of Hong Kong's high degree of autonomy.
Meeting of the LDP parliamentary group on Southern Mongolia.
Several lawmakers present at the meeting reportedly shared Takaichi's concerns.
During the session, officials briefed lawmakers on the replacement of Mongolian-language textbooks with standard Chinese in elementary and junior high schools across Inner Mongolia. Chinese authorities began this shift in the autumn of 2020. Starting in 2025, they will conduct college entrance exams exclusively in Chinese.
Ethnic Extermination
After the meeting, Rintaro Ishibashi, a House of Representatives member and secretary-general of the group, commented, "The erasure of a mother tongue is a form of ethnic extermination. We cannot ignore it."
It was also reported that information control in the region has intensified. Contact has been lost with Hada, the detained leader of the Southern Mongolian Democratic Alliance. He is believed to be under house arrest by Chinese authorities.
Hada has been nominated for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize at the recommendation of lawmakers, including House of Councillors member Hiroshi Yamada, who serves as the group's executive director.

2,500 Specialists and Teachers to Be Trained in Artificial Intelligence www.montsame.mn

The “National AI” Program, initiated by AI Academy Asia with support from UNICEF Mongolia and M Bank, officially launched on April 15, 2025.
The "National AI" Program aims at promoting inclusive access to artificial intelligence education, reducing the digital divide, and raising public awareness and understanding of AI. The Program is designed to provide students, youth, and local government officials with knowledge and skills related to AI, thereby improving the inclusivity of the digital transition and reducing inequalities. Over the course of its five-year implementation, the Program will train 250 AI specialists and 2,250 teachers.
CEO of AI Academy Asia Bolor-Erdene Battsengel said, "We are working in collaboration with Cambridge University and other leading global institutions to introduce AI education to Mongolia. Through this Program, we plan to train 500 professionals in Mongolia. In the technological era, it is essential to gain structured and systematic knowledge without lagging behind. Starting today, our online learning platform will be available to the public, with all courses offered in Mongolian. It is vital that children receive a strong and well-structured foundation in technology education."
The Program to train 2,250 teachers will last up to three months and is open to individuals aged 21-65. Teachers will be trained annually from 330 soums across all 21 aimags.
As one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world, Mongolia continues to face challenges in achieving equitable and inclusive digital transformation, due to factors such as demographic distribution, geographical constraints, and socio-economic disparities. Nevertheless, the program’s implementers underscored the vast potential of artificial intelligence to drive positive and transformative change in Mongolia by fostering innovation, enhancing economic growth, and contributing to the nation’s sustainable development.

Mongolia: Prioritise increasing citizen awareness of right to privacy, says expert www.ohchr.org

GENEVA – The enactment of the Law on Personal Data Protection in Mongolia is a step in the right direction and comprehensively updates the legal framework in which privacy and data protection are safeguarded, a UN expert said today, while urging further amendments to its enforcement mechanism.
“I encourage the Government to close the digital divide in its population, specifically with vulnerable groups, to increase awareness. There are many challenges ahead and a lot of work to be done but a key element, the political will, is present,” said Ana Brian Nougrères, UN Special Rapporteur on the right to privacy in a statement, after a seven-day visit to the country.
“The Government has prioritised digitalisation and a move towards an e-based society but acknowledges there are challenges and limited financial resources,” she said. “There is an urgent need for a corresponding shift in the mindset of the people so they view the right to privacy as a fundamental human right.”
The Special Rapporteur examined privacy issues in relation to personal data protection, including health data, cybersecurity, surveillance, oversight mechanisms and remedies, new and emerging technologies and privacy concerns of vulnerable groups.
Mongolia is facing a real challenge to effectively respond to cybersecurity attacks and needs to develop more robust safeguards.
“Technological innovation is important but it must be embraced using a human rights-based approach, putting individuals at the centre of all technological advancements, to mitigate the risks and elevate digital literacy so citizens can better safeguard their right to privacy,” the expert said.
The expert stressed the importance of awareness, education, transparency, multi-stakeholder cooperation, harmonisation and standardisation at the international level, and believes the Government is motivated to rise to this challenge.
The Special Rapporteur met with officials, national institutions, civil society, academics, business leaders and the UN Country Team in Ulaanbaatar and Nalaikh.
She will submit her report on the visit to the UN Human Rights Council in March 2026.
Dr. Ana Brian Nougrères is the Special Rapporteur on the right to privacy.
The Special Rapporteurs are part of what is known as the Special Procedures of the Human Rights Council.
Special Rapporteurs/Independent Experts/Working Groups are independent human rights experts appointed by the United Nations Human Rights Council. Together, these experts are referred to as the Special Procedures of the Human Rights Council. Special Procedures experts work on a voluntary basis; they are not UN staff and do not receive a salary for their work. While the UN Human Rights office acts as the secretariat for Special Procedures, the experts serve in their individual capacity and are independent from any government or organization, including OHCHR and the UN.

"Mongolia is a market brimming with untapped potential" www.mumnet.com

In August 2024, Nyambaatar Purevdorj was appointed Managing Director of the new country unit M&M Militzer and Muench Mongolia LLC. In this interview, he talks about the Mongolian logistics market, the development of Militzer & Münch’s business in his country, and why logistics is his passion.
Mr. Purevdorj, in August last year you took on your new role, becoming one of the youngest Managing Directors of the Militzer & Münch Group at the age of 33. How have you been getting on in your first few months in the job?
As this is my first position as Managing Director, I have gained a lot of new experiences in the last few months. It was a big challenge at the beginning, but it has also been a very fulfilling task from the outset. I am grateful to my superiors and colleagues for providing me with valuable support during this time. Friends and family often describe me as a passionate person. Being passionate helps me to overcome all the challenges I face in my new role.
How would you describe the Mongolian logistics market?
Compared to the markets of the major global powers, Mongolia is a smaller market but offers numerous untapped opportunities. There are several well-established routes into and out of the country that importers and exporters are keen to use. Mongolia’s most important trade partners are its immediate neighbors. Since Mongolia is one of the countries with the largest mineral resources, some of its main export commodities are coal, fluorspar and iron ore, as well as cashmere wool. Key imports are petroleum products, machinery, vehicles, electronic products and foodstuff.
How does Militzer & Münch operate in Mongolia?
Militzer & Münch Germany has had an office in Ulaanbaatar since 1992. So, we have been operating in Mongolia for more than 30 years. So far, we have been particularly strong in the LTL transport sector. In July 2024, we expanded by opening our own country unit, M&M Militzer and Muench Mongolia LLC. Since then, we have expanded our services to include all modes of transport and are no longer limited to road freight and domestic services. We are currently in the process of establishing ourselves as experts in transit through Mongolia, adding this important field to Militzer & Münch’s already extensive global network. One of our main goals is to further expand our market share in traffics to and from Mongolia.
What do you particularly like about your work?
Logistics is a challenging field, and I see it as my profession and my calling at the same time. I always say that there are always opportunities in the midst of chaos.  Most of all, I enjoy the sense of achievement that comes when you overcome particularly difficult obstacles.
At Militzer & Münch, I particularly appreciate the company’s precise decision-making and ability of the M&M Group to take on any project, no matter how difficult. We have a remarkable 145 years of experience in logistics, and it shows. I am very proud to represent Militzer & Münch to our customers and to demonstrate our commitment to excellence. The corporate culture is perfectly aligned with my personal values. What counts here, is clear communication, and recognition for good performance.
