During the visit of the Minister of Environment and Tourism to Japan, a meeting was held with public and private tourism companies, and a tourism forum was planned to be held in Japan in April 2023 and in Mongolia in May. The representative office asked MNCCI to support and participate in the organization of the forum and expressed its desire to cooperate with the MNCCI for the development of agriculture-based tourism.

The Private Sector Forum on Environmental Climate Change is scheduled to be held in Japan in April 2023 and Mongolian enterprises are invited to participate in the event. The MNCCI has also agreed to distribute information about the forum to its member organizations.
