Document Introduction

This document is an official conference announcement jointly released by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), the Japan-Mongolia Economic Committee, and the general incorporated association ROTOBO. The document aims to invite relevant parties to participate in the "12th Japan-Mongolia Public-Private Joint Conference" scheduled for November 26, 2025 (Reiwa 7) at the Meiji Kinenkan in Tokyo. The conference is co-hosted by the governments and major private economic institutions of Japan and Mongolia. Its core objective is to systematically explore and promote the expansion of bilateral trade and investment, as well as the deepening of overall cooperative relations, through a public-private integrated dialogue platform. The announcement clearly states that this conference is not only for Japanese companies and organizations already operating in Mongolia but also actively seeks to attract potential investors interested in the Mongolian market, providing them with a direct channel to obtain key policy and market information.

The announcement details the organizational structure and agenda of the conference. The conference will be held in the morning on the specified date at the Meiji Kinenkan in Minato Ward, Tokyo. It explicitly states that no online streaming will be available, emphasizing the importance of on-site participation. The agenda framework primarily includes opening remarks, special presentations and dialogue sessions from both sides, a closing summary, and a subsequent lunch reception. Among these, the special presentations and dialogue sessions form the core content of the conference, with Japanese and Mongolian representatives elaborating on pre-defined key areas of cooperation.

From the distribution of topics in the agenda, one can observe the key directions of Japan-Mongolia bilateral economic cooperation in the current and near future. The topics proposed by the Japanese side focus on areas such as "Smart Logistics," "Improvement of the Business Environment," and "Promotion of Effective Utilization of the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA)." This reflects Japan's emphasis, when deepening economic ties with Mongolia, on enhancing infrastructure connectivity efficiency, optimizing the institutional investment environment, and fully leveraging existing bilateral agreement frameworks. The topics to be elaborated by the Mongolian side cover "Critical Mineral Resources," "Improvement of Financial and Investment Environment & Green Finance," "Renewable Energy and Climate Change Countermeasures," and "Innovation, Digital Investment, and Startup Ecosystem." This combination of topics clearly reveals the key areas Mongolia aims to attract foreign investment: its abundant strategic mineral resources, the demand for green finance and energy transition towards sustainable development, and the long-term strategic intent to foster a digital economy and innovation ecosystem.

The remainder of the document provides practical information required for participation, including that the conference will provide Japanese-Mongolian simultaneous interpretation, participation is free of charge, and the application process involves email registration via a designated form, with a deadline of November 18, 2025. The responsible contact party is the Secretariat of the Japan-Mongolia Economic Committee (located within ROTOBO). Overall, this announcement document is not merely a conference notice but also an authoritative text reflecting the bilateral economic cooperation priorities jointly recognized and actively promoted by the governments and business communities of Japan and Mongolia for the year 2025. It provides immediate, official agenda-based material for analyzing the dynamics of regional economic cooperation in Northeast Asia, particularly the complementary cooperation models between resource-rich countries and developed economies.
