Tokyo, Oct. 29 (Jiji Press)–Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said Thursday that her country will support recovery efforts following a massive wildfire that occurred in Mongolia on Oct. 8. During her 10-minute phone talks with her Mongolian counterpart, Nyam-Osor Uchral, Takaichi said that Japan will offer an aid package featuring plans to provide equipment and help develop human resources for environmental restoration.

Takaichi said that the Japanese government takes the extent of the damage seriously. Uchral expressed gratitude for Japan’s support. END [Copyright The Jiji Press, Ltd.]
