CRINES was visited by Rentsendoo Jigjid, Chargé d'Affaires ad interim of the Embassy of Mongolia, on March 21, 2006 (Vernal Equinox Day, a Japanese national holiday). Mr. Jigjid and Director H. Sekimoto exchanged information about environmental, energy and nuclear power issues and then discussed small nuclear reactors. On the afternoon of the national holiday, they also chatted about their respective nations’ cultures.

In 2006, Mongolia celebrated the 800th anniversary of its founding by Chingis Khaan, and, in 2007, it marked the 35th anniversary of the opening of diplomatic relations with Japan. At CRINES, we hope that our two nations will have increasingly friendly relations, and we will continue to do our best to contribute to this process.
