Prime Minister Shinzo Abe held talks with Mr. Norov Altankhuyag, Prime Minister of Mongolia, at the Prime Minister's Office.
Following the talks, the Prime Minister attended a signing ceremony and then held a joint press announcement.
Later, the Prime Minister held a banquet inviting Prime Minister Altankhuyag and Mrs. Khonichin Selenge, among others. The Prime Minister said in his address,
"I would like to once again welcome the visit to Japan by Prime Minister Altankhuyag and Mrs. Selenge.
Moments ago, I was able to have an extremely meaningful summit meeting with His Excellency the Prime Minister.
At the outset of the summit meeting, Prime Minister Altankhuyag very kindly offered his congratulations to me on Tokyo winning the bid to host the 2020 Olympics.
If sumo could be added as an Olympic event, I believe Japan and Mongolia could vie for the gold medal.
Once again I would like to express my appreciation to the people of Mongolia for their warm hospitality extended to me during my visit to Mongolia in March."
