May 12, 2015, Minister of Foreign Affairs L. Purevsuren signed Notes of Exchange on projects on establishing Mongolia-japan teaching hospital of approximately MNT131.0 billion, and on Human resource development scholarship of MNT 4 billion between the Government of Mongolia and the Government of Japan.

With the goal of preparing skilled medical staff and improving medical services, the establishment of the Teaching hospital will offer a holistic solution to the process of providing medical education as well as improving the medical services from the Government.

The Human resource scholarship from the Japanese Government is an important program for educating the promising young civil service workers in Japanese universities. The program’s goal is to support the development of human resources in countries who have transitioned into market economy. The project has been running from 1999 in 11 countries, Mongolia, Indonesia, Philippines, China, Laos, Uzbekistan, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Mongolia has been implementing 13 projects under the Scholarship program since 2001.

With the program, human capital is being prepared in essential fields of Mongolian development, including law, economy and public administration. This year, 18 civil service workers will study in post-graduate degree programs in Japanese universities.
