Japan and Mongolia agreed Tuesday to strengthen cooperation in security, artificial intelligence, energy and infrastructure as their prime ministers met in Tokyo.
Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and Mongolian Prime Minister Nyam-Osor Uchral discussed ways to advance their “Special Strategic Partnership for Peace and Prosperity,” with both sides agreeing to expand cooperation in security and emerging fields such as AI.
Takaichi said Japan would continue supporting Mongolia’s autonomy and resilience under its Free and Open Indo-Pacific framework. The two countries are set to mark the 55th anniversary of diplomatic relations in 2027.
The two governments also exchanged notes on yen loans for the expansion of Chinggis Khaan International Airport, where Japanese companies are involved in operations. Japan is expected to provide about ¥150 billion in financing for the project.
The leaders also agreed to expand cooperation on oil stockpiling and renewable energy under Japan’s Power Asia initiative.
During his visit, Uchral also held discussions with Japanese officials as Mongolia sought to strengthen political, economic and parliamentary ties with Japan.
