Although the Mongolia-Japan Center for Human Resources Development does not directly benefit the market economy it provides the improvement of the human resources, develops the cooperation between Mongolia and Japan and strengthens mutual understanding between the two nations to strengthen the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), which began these activities in 2002 from a joint project between the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, and the National University of Mongolia. Now, improving human resources, providing education of the Japanese language and diplomacy are the principle directions that the activities it runs belong to.
