Seddorj Renchinbyamba, Chair of the Standing Committee on Economics of the State Great Khural (Parliament) of Mongolia, received a delegation led by Hideyuki Nakano, Parliamentary Vice-Minister for Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan, who is on an official visit to Mongolia.

During the meeting, the parties highlighted that Mongolia and Japan established diplomatic relations 54 years ago, which have since expanded and developed into a Strategic and Comprehensive Partnership. As an example of this cooperation, they noted that the National Statistics Office of Mongolia and the Statistics Bureau of Japan signed a Memorandum of Understanding in 2017, and cooperation continued uninterrupted even during the pandemic period.

The visiting side expressed interest in learning from the good practices of Mongolia’s National Statistics Office, which is recognized across the Asia-Pacific region and collects data from multiple sources, including mobile phone and satellite data. They also raised issues related to the arrival of Japanese trainers who are expected to work in Mongolia in June.

Chairman Seddorj conveyed greetings from Speaker of the State Great Khural Byambatsogt Sandag, who has been elected to parliament for a fifth term, and expressed gratitude for Japan’s continued support through the dispatch of experts to assist Mongolia’s statistical sector. He emphasized the effectiveness of holding regular bilateral meetings and noted that the Standing Committee places particular focus on enhancing the benefits of the Mongolia–Japan Economic Partnership Agreement and providing policy support to facilitate the localization of Japanese investment companies in Mongolia.

The sides exchanged views on the implementation and outcomes of memoranda of understanding and intergovernmental agreements concluded between the two countries.

The meeting was attended by Batdavaa B., Chairperson of the National Statistics Office of Mongolia, and Masaru Igawahara, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Japan to Mongolia, along with representatives of the Embassy of Japan, according to the Press and Public Relations Department of the State Great Khural.
