Umnugobi Province Governor Nasanbuyan Enkhbat met with Japanese Ambassador to Mongolia Igawahara Masaru on October 19 to discuss expanding cooperation in environmental protection, combating desertification, agriculture, and tourism.

As part of these efforts, Ambassador Igawahara and his family took part in planting saxaul trees across 100 hectares, digging wells, and installing protective fencing for trees and shrubs. During the meeting, the two sides also discussed introducing Japanese technologies and expertise in afforestation and natural resource conservation, as well as developing winter greenhouses, improving agricultural productivity, and expanding water access in remote areas, including for wildlife.
