Mongolia and Japan will issue a joint statement this week calling for the establishment of a "comprehensive partnership" between the two countries toward the 21st century, Mongolian President Natsagiin Bagabandi said Monday.
"The document will serve as a basis for the development of cooperative bilateral relations in a wide range of areas, including not only politics and economics but also culture, education, science and technology," Bagabandi said in an interview with The Japan Times.
