He has been very successful through the implementation and guidance of foreign policy. In Japan, we know very well about Ambassador Khurelbaatar’s extensive efforts and achievements.

In response, Foreign Minister Prevsuren said,” I am delighted to receive warm welcome at this breakfast meeting from Mr. Matsuzawa and other Japanese people. It is largely due to FEC’s efforts that Mongolia and Japan have a good relationship like present. One of the first nonstop flights from Mongolia to Japan was realized with the cooperation of the FEC.Next year is the memorable year, which is the 45th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries, and we are discussing with the Japanese government to make a new plan. The Japan-Mongolia Economic Partnership Agreement will come into force on June 7 and I am confident that the economic cooperation relationship between the two countries will advance to a new stage.
