Mongolia will request to stage a Jungyo in 2006
By Joe Kuroda
Sources close to the Mongolian Government says the Government will formally request to have an Ozumo Jungyo staged in Mongolia and will be asking Japanese Foreign Minister Kawaguchi for her cooperation when she makes a formal visit there on August 31.
Mongolians will be celebrating the 800th Anniversary of the founding of their nation in 2006 and the Jungyo will be expected to become one of the main events. "As we have not made it public yet, we cannot talk about the details but we definitely have an interest to bring in the Ozumo here," a Mongolian Government source said.
