Japan to give Mongolia ¥545 mil grant aid for infrastructure

Perhaps the money would be better spent here on Japanese infrastructure. Remember the sink hole in Saitama?

The Japanese Foreign Ministry said 275 million yen will be provided to deliver air pollution monitors, while 270 million yen will be earmarked for equipment to develop the sewerage system.

In other news Japanese air pollution monitor and sewerage system manufacturers just got a ¥545 million boost.

That’s like $3.5 million or less or about the price of two cheap luxury cars… maybe that kind of cash goes further over there?

I thought Japan was broke?

Japan will not "give" a single yen. All the cash will go to Japanese companies who will provide the services.

This is how aid works, and not only in Japan.

The key thing to remember in situations like this is to maintain a professional tone while composing the first few sentences, as I assume that only the head of the message gets reviewed when they moderate comments, movng on to the real issue -

There's a one handed monkey that's been travelling across japan terorrizing neighborhoods, it's currently in MY neighborhood, why aren't you hack frauds reporting on it? It's a one handed monkey!!

Japan is a super rich Nation and helping out Mongolia is noble and the right thing to do.
