Japan’s Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry NISHIMURA Yasutoshi held a video meeting with the Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdul Aziz bin Salman on Sunday, where they agreed to strengthen their ties in the energy sector.

During the meeting, both ministers stressed the importance of supporting the stability of global oil markets by encouraging dialogue between producing and consuming countries, Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of of Energy tweeted.

Nishimura expressed Japan’s keenness to strengthen the cooperative relationships between the two countries in the field of energy, according to a tweet by the Japanese ambassador to Saudi Arabia IWAI Fumio.

The ministers also confirmed their cooperation in technology and human resources for carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) including hydrogen, ammonia, as well as other technologies that sequester greenhouse gas emissions.

“I will continue to work on strengthening relations with Saudi Arabia,” Nishimura said.

This reaffirms the importance of the country’s relationship with Saudi Arabia in terms of maintaining energy security, and its reliance on energy supplies from Arab sources, particularly in the absence of imports from Iran and Russia due to sanctions enforced by the US.
