MUSCAT (Kyodo) -- Japan and Oman reached an agreement on Thursday to enhance clean energy collaboration, focusing on hydrogen and ammonia development, during talks between their foreign ministers in Muscat. Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi announced that Japan would assist Oman in bolstering its economy and energy resilience, including seawater desalination and green steel production.
The ministers also addressed Iran's situation and the importance of unrestricted and secure passage through the Strait of Hormuz. Motegi emphasized the urgency to de-escalate tensions between the US and Iran, as they are at a critical point. Oman, which borders the Strait of Hormuz, has been in direct negotiations with Iran regarding vessel traffic regulations, with a blockade in place. Japan opposes any transit fees or additional charges on vessels utilizing the strait.
