Japan, Kuwait Discuss Restoring Navigation in Strait of Hormuz
(MENAFN) Japan and Kuwait discuss efforts to restore navigation through the Strait of Hormuz as tensions between the United States and Iran continue to raise concerns over regional security and energy supplies.
Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi meets with visiting Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sheikh Jarrah Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah in Tokyo, with the security situation in the region and the stability of energy supplies among the main topics of discussion.
Motegi says Tokyo considers reopening the strategic waterway as soon as possible a priority, followed by the resumption of US-Iran negotiations aimed at reaching a final agreement, including on Iran’s nuclear program.
The two ministers agree that ships should be able to pass through the strait freely and safely without facing additional costs. They also agree to coordinate on future arrangements for the waterway, with relevant stakeholders expected to take part, including neighboring countries and nations that depend on the route.
The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world’s most important energy corridors, and continued instability in the area has raised concerns about international shipping and the security of global oil supplies.
Motegi also expresses appreciation for Kuwait’s efforts to keep energy supplies flowing to international markets despite the instability surrounding the strait. He particularly acknowledges Kuwait’s consistent crude oil supplies to Japan over the years.
