Japan relies on the two Middle Eastern countries for over 80 pct of its oil imports. Japanese industry minister Ryosei Akazawa asked his UAE counterpart, Sultan Al Jaber, in a meeting in Tokyo on Thursday to maintain a stable oil supply to Japan. Akazawa also called on the UAE to play a leading role in stabilizing the oil market. Jaber responded that Japan is a high strategic priority for the UAE, and that his country will play its part.
