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-Prilateral Joint Conference, scheduled for November 26, 2025 (Reiwa 7), at the Meiji Memorial Hall in Tokyo. Co-hosted by the governments and major private economic organizations of Japan and Mongolia, the conference's 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 aims 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 on the specified date in the morning at the Meiji Memorial Hall in Minato Ward, Tokyo, with no online streaming available, emphasizing the importance of on-site participation. The agenda framework mainly includes opening remarks, special speeches and dialogue sessions from both sides, a closing summary, and a subsequent lunch reception. Among these, the special speeches and dialogue sessions constitute the core content of the conference, with Japanese and Mongolian representatives presenting 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 the effective utilization of the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA). This reflects Japan's emphasis on enhancing infrastructure connectivity efficiency, optimizing the institutional investment environment, and fully leveraging existing bilateral agreement frameworks when deepening economic ties with Mongolia. The topics to be presented by the Mongolian side cover important mineral resources, improvement of the financial and investment environment along with green finance, renewable energy and climate change countermeasures, and innovation, digital investment, and the startup ecosystem. This combination of topics clearly reveals Mongolia's key areas for attracting 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 offer Japanese-Mongolian bilingual 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 evidence for analyzing the dynamics of regional economic cooperation in Northeast Asia, particularly the complementary cooperation models between resource-rich countries and developed economies.
