Japan and Australia held a high-level meeting to strengthen energy security and cooperation on critical minerals as global oil supply disruptions intensify. Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi met Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in Canberra on Monday to discuss energy, critical minerals, and defense collaboration, according to AFP.
Before the meeting, Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong emphasized that gas plays a vital role in ensuring joint energy security between the two nations, describing it as the foundation of their energy partnership. She also noted that export partners rely on consistent and reliable supply. The talks come as oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz face disruptions following U.S. and Israeli attacks and Iran’s restrictions on maritime traffic.
Japan expressed interest in securing stable supplies of critical minerals essential for semiconductors, electric vehicle batteries, and defense equipment. Both countries are also deepening defense cooperation, including a major naval deal signed last year. Prime Minister Takaichi reaffirmed Japan’s commitment to a “free and open Indo-Pacific,” a strategy that has drawn criticism from China.
