T.SHIMIZU:

Pirme Minister J.Erdenebat praised Japanese Ambassador Takenori Shimizu as “a senior diplomat and Mongolist, who has dedicated nearly 40 years of his life to making even closer friendship between our two countries”, and welcomed accomplishments made within the past five years of office of Shimizu. The two sides held a meeting on Tuesday at the State House.

Between 2011 and 2016, Pirme Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe paid three visits to Mongolia, President of Mongolia Ts.Elbegdorj visited to Japan twice. Also, Mongolia has organized three visits at the level of parliament speakers and four—at the PM level.

PM J.Erdenebat underlined the most important step forward was the signing of the Economic Partnership Agreement, which took force in June.

“It seems like I arrived here just yesterday, and returning tomorrow”, said the Ambassador and added that Mongolia could not fully utilize its potentials of growth in the recent years. Mongolia’s economic growth can be restored within three years, if the government takes proper actions, he noted and wished the Premier’s support for the incoming Ambassador of Japan.

The Mongolian Premier highlighted once again that Ambassador Shimizu is a close friend deeply attached to Mongolia, and that he hopes Mr Shimizu would go on maintaining close contacts with Mongolia through promoting Mongolia in Japan, encouraging businesspeople of the two countries, and helping to draw  more investments to Mongolia.

At the end, he wished Mr Shimizu happiness and wellbeing.
