Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae is expected to discuss energy security with her Australian counterpart Anthony Albanese on Monday.<\/p>\n
She is scheduled to visit Australia from Sunday on the second leg of a five-day tour of Vietnam and Australia.<\/p>\n
Australia is Japan’s largest supplier of liquefied natural gas, and also imports light gas oil refined in Japan.<\/p>\n
At the meeting, the leaders are expected to issue a joint statement affirming cooperation to ensure uninterrupted energy supplies and avoid unjustified export restrictions.<\/p>\n
They are also expected to affirm cooperation on Australia’s critical minerals.<\/p>\n
During her visit to Vietnam, Takaichi met with Prime Minister Le Minh Hung on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The two leaders agreed to cooperate to help Vietnam procure crude oil, enabling Japan to secure petroleum-derived medical products from the country.<\/p>\n
They also agreed to deepen cooperation in economic security, including critical minerals and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n
In a speech at a university, Takaichi outlined Japan’s foreign policy, highlighting the vision of a free and open Indo-Pacific. She stressed the need to respond to the current global environment and cited key priorities, including strengthening the resilience of energy supply chains.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae is expected to discuss energy security with her Australian counterpart Anthony Albanese on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":16274,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[72,259,8,262,173,261,265,266,267,264,258,263,268,260,257],"class_list":{"0":"post-16273","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-japan","8":"tag-asia","9":"tag-biz","10":"tag-japan","11":"tag-japan-broadcasting-corporation","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-nhk","14":"tag-nhk-world","15":"tag-nhk-world-premium","16":"tag-nhk-world-tv","17":"tag-nhkworld","18":"tag-nuclear","19":"tag-public-broadcaster","20":"tag-radio-japan","21":"tag-tech","22":"tag-world"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16273","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16273"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16273\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16274"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16273"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16273"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16273"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
