In recent years, the Mongolian agriculture and livestock industries have faced a number of challenges and the government of Mongolia is intending to solve those challenges through economic cooperation with foreign countries.

In a word, Korean economic cooperation with Mongolia in relevance to challenges of its agriculture and livestock industries could become one alternative for two countries to proceed their economic cooperation in a mutually beneficiary, that is a win-win way.
