蒙古国考虑就草原火灾向涉事日企索赔
据日本媒体 10 月 25 日报道，日本电信运营商凯迪迪爱公司子公司高管在蒙古国自然保护区活动引发大规模草原火灾后，蒙古国政府表示，将通过调查明确相关责任方，并考虑提出赔偿要求。
据日本媒体报道，蒙古国副总理诺木泰巴亚尔近日接受采访时说，凯迪迪爱公司"仅道歉是不够的"，有必要就这起火灾向相关责任方索赔。蒙古国环境部门官员表示，将调查火灾原因，并依法追究责任。
蒙古国东方省努姆鲁格自然保护区 8 日发生大规模草原火灾。据蒙古国媒体报道，日资控股的蒙古国电信运营商莫比康公司一行 10 余人、5 辆车进入保护区，其中包括该公司日籍高管等多名日方人员；车辆在行驶过程中引燃干草，酿成草原火灾；明火已于 16 日被扑灭。
凯迪迪爱公司 20 日承认，火灾与其子公司莫比康的日本籍高管活动有关。面对舆论压力，该公司 23 日在官方网站公开致歉，表示将配合调查，但坚称涉事人员"不存在违法行为"。
目前公开报道中，蒙古国方面关于索赔的表态与凯迪迪爱公司关于涉事人员"不存在违法行为"的说法并存；蒙古国环境部门官员表示的下一步是调查火灾原因并依法追究责任。
Mongolia Considers Seeking Compensation from Japanese Firm over Steppe Fire
Japanese media reported on October 25 that, after executives of a subsidiary of Japanese telecom operator KDDI caused a large steppe fire during activities in a Mongolian nature reserve, the Mongolian government said it would identify the responsible parties through investigation and consider seeking compensation.
According to Japanese media reports, Mongolian Deputy Prime Minister Nomunbayar said in a recent interview that an apology alone from KDDI was "not enough" and that it was necessary to seek compensation from the responsible parties over the fire. Officials from Mongolia's environmental authorities said they would investigate the cause of the fire and pursue responsibility in accordance with the law.
A large steppe fire broke out on the 8th in the Numrug Nature Reserve in Mongolia's Dornod Province. According to Mongolian media reports, a group of more than 10 people from Mobicom, a Mongolian telecom operator controlled by Japanese capital, entered the reserve in 5 vehicles, including Japanese executives of the company and other Japanese personnel; dry grass was ignited while the vehicles were moving, causing the steppe fire; the open flames were extinguished on the 16th.
KDDI acknowledged on the 20th that the fire was related to the activities of Japanese executives of its subsidiary Mobicom. Facing public pressure, the company issued a public apology on its official website on the 23rd, saying it would cooperate with the investigation, but insisting that the personnel involved had committed "no illegal acts".
The publicly reported positions therefore stand side by side: Mongolia's stated consideration of a compensation claim, and KDDI's insistence that the personnel involved committed no illegal acts, with Mongolian environmental officials saying the next step is to investigate the cause of the fire and pursue responsibility in accordance with the law.
