Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said she spoke with Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman on Thursday, seeking enhanced crude oil supplies as tensions in the Strait of Hormuz persist.
"Regarding energy, while expressing gratitude for Saudi Arabia's continued supply of crude oil to Japan via the port of Yanbu even after the incident occurred, I requested cooperation toward expanding energy supplies," Takaichi stated on X, as Mohammed "expressed his intention to respond positively." She noted that Japan will "continue to collaborate with Saudi Arabia toward stabilizing the situation, including ensuring safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz," adding that "it is essential for the United States and Iran to reach a final agreement through continued dialogue."
The call comes as risks to shipping in the key waterway remain elevated, with countries seeking to secure energy flows and stabilize global markets amid ongoing uncertainty over US-Iran negotiations.
