Japan, Mongolia agree to push EPA negotiations

Foreign Minister Koichiro Gemba and his Mongolian counterpart, Luvsanvandan Bold, have agreed to accelerate negotiations to conclude a bilateral economic partnership agreement that began in June.


Gemba called on Mongolia to take measures to facilitate direct Japanese investments in that country.

In particular, he asked for Mongolia's support in helping Japanese companies participate in the development of Tavan Tolgoi, the world's largest coalfield, in the southern Gobi Desert.

Bold responded by ensuring his country's full cooperation in expanding investments from Japan.
