Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar city aims to sign sister city deal with Tokyo by 2020. The mayor of Mongolia’s capital said Wednesday that Ulaanbaatar is seeking to forge a sister city agreement with Tokyo by 2020 and expand the bilateral ties through tourism, culture and sports. “I conveyed our wish to establish a sister city agreement with Tokyo and upgrade our ties,” Sundui Batbold said in an interview following his meeting with Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike. Under an envisioned sister city deal, which he hopes to finalize while he is in office until 2020, Mr. Batbold said he wants Ulaanbaatar city to gain more knowledge and technical expertise from Tokyo in waste disposal and recycling, and attract more tourists to Ulaanbaatar city. Over the years, Japan and Mongolia have forged close ties, given their shared interest in sumo, with Mongolian wrestlers showing dominance in Japan’s traditional sport.
