Khurelsukh expressed his appreciation to Japan for its support and assistance to Mongolia's social and economic development over the past years.
For his part, Abe expressed his appreciation to Mongolia for providing 100,000 U.S. dollars in humanitarian aid to Japan after downpours in July this year triggered massive flooding and hundreds of landslides in western Japan and claimed hundreds of lives.
The two leaders welcomed the successful conclusion of the ninth public-private consultative meeting between the two nations in Tokyo on Wednesday, and expressed their willingness to make more efforts to deepen bilateral economic, trade, and investment cooperation based on the mechanism of the consultative meeting.
In terms of security, the two Asian countries agreed to enhance bilateral defense cooperation to make more contributions to regional and world peace and stability.
