SocietyUlaanbaatar/MONTSAME/. MP and Minister of Labor and Social Protection S. Chinzorig is paying a working visit to Japan.
On April 17, a Memorandum of
Cooperation on a Basic Framework for Proper Operation of the System pertaining
to Foreign Human Resources with the Status of Residence ‘Specified Skilled Worker’
was signed in Tokyo between the National Police Agency, the Ministry of
Justice, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Health, Labour and
Welfare of Japan and the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection of Mongolia
Before signing the
Memorandum, Minister S.Chinzorig held a meeting with Japan’s Minister of
Justice Takashi Yamashita, exchanging views on friendly bilateral
cooperation.
Mongolia is among nine
countries from where Japan will receive labor force according to Japan’s
revised law on immigration control which comes into effect from April, 2019. It
opens a great opportunity for Mongolian youth to work and learn technical and
technological advancements of the world’s highly developed country, highlighted the
Minister S.Chinzorig.
He added that most
importantly, an establishment of this Memorandum will create a possibility that Mongolians can work in the same conditions and earn same wages as Japanese workers
in Japan under the labor contract besides its helpfulness to ensure employment rights
of Mongolians and resolve any of their matters concerning residence in Japan.
They also discussed about renewed
Memorandum of Cooperation on the Technical Intern Training Program, signed by
two countries in 2017. Accordingly, there are 76 organizations, accredited by
the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of Mongolia, working in charge of
dispatching interns to Japan.
Regarding the newly established Memorandum
of Cooperation on a Basic Framework for Proper Operation of the System
pertaining to Foreign Human Resources with the Status of Residence of ‘Specified
Skilled Worker’, the General Agency for Labor and Welfare Services of Mongolia will
be in charge of its implementation. It will be effective to build mechanisms to
exchange information and consult between relevant public organizations and
eliminate illicit intermediations.
