Prime Minister Ch.Saikhanbileg plans to make an official visit to Japan in February.

During the PM's visit to Japan, the economic partnership agreement (EPA) between Mongolia and Japan is expected to be finalized. The first draft of the economic partnership agreement between Mongolia and Japan was built during former PM S.Batbold's visit to Japan in 2012.

An EPA working group in Mongolia was established in 2014. Though the agreement is expected to be finalized this year, it has been three years since its first official review.

PM Ch.Saikhanbileg is expected to sign the agreement and submit it to Parliament to be passed in April.

President Ts,Elbegdorj initiated a push to the EPA approval process during his visit to Japan in April 2014.
