Japan, Mongolia sign trade pact

The majority of the world's horse hair for violin bows comes from Mongolia. But I imagine it's probably not their biggest export to Japan. I wonder what is.

No mention of specific exports to Japan at this link but in general:

Mongolia exports mineral products (copper, coal, molybdenum, tin, tungsten, and gold), natural or cultured stones, jewelry, textiles, animal origin products, hides and skins. Mongolia's main exports partner is China (89% of total exports). Others include: Canada and Russia.

Yokozuna?

Poor Mongolia. It is stuck between Russia and China. They are at their mercy, as almost all meaningful trade will have to go through one those countries.

I am sure that if they developed it, Mongolia could become a major beef exporter to Japan.

Also, Mongolia has to import most of it's oil. This too leads to a lot of dependence upon Russia.

I wonder if this will have much of an impact, as Mongolia is still developing, but has a rather low population. So, really you aren't looking at a huge auto market. Something the size of New Zealand's at best.

strengthen Tokyo’s leverage with a key partner in its dealings with North Korea.

Where are you going? Mr PM

Jand, how would Mongolia do anything to/with NK? They don't border, and Mongolia has no force projection to speak of.

So sorry can you explain NK

AND this is not how JP WORKS , but here you sre

NK=North Korea. Mongolia would have no impact in dealing with NK. They have no force projection, nor a large economy that would be able to punish NK with economically.
