Oil facility attack Japan also keeps a close eye on dialogue routes September 18th 4:01
As Saudi oil-related facilities are attacked and tensions in the Middle East increase, the government intends to maintain a dialogue line that encourages both the United States and Iran to ease tensions. The future situation, such as the possibility, is becoming more uncertain, so we will carefully monitor trends in the countries concerned.
Saudi Arabia's oil-related facilities have been attacked and production of about half of the daily crude oil production has been suspended. The government will increase the impact on the economy and the tension in the Middle East. Concerns are coming out.
After introducing the announcement of international organizations that the supply of oil to Japan is currently well-supplied by stockpiles, the Secretary of Secretary Jun said, “In cooperation with relevant countries and international organizations, I want to respond firmly so as not to come out. "
On the other hand, regarding the fact that the US has expressed the view that this attack is an Iranian crime, the government says that it can not be determined at this time and will collaborate with related countries to collect and analyze information.
And in light of the fact that Prime Minister Abe visited Iran in June, Prime Minister Abe will continue to hold a dialogue line that encourages tensions on both the US and Iran. The meetings with President Trump in the United States and President Rohani in Iran are coordinated to attend.
However, as the future situation is becoming increasingly unclear, such as whether Iran is involved or the possibility of countermeasures by the United States, we will carefully monitor the trends of the countries concerned, including both countries.
