The CEO of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company will meet with Sanae Takaichi on Thursday.

Golden Ten Data reported on March 5 that Sultan Al Jaber, CEO of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), will hold talks with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takashi in Tokyo on Thursday. Before another meeting with officials from Japan's Ministry of Trade in Tokyo, Al Jaber stated: "While ensuring Japan's energy security remains our priority, if there is any distortion or disruption in the Strait of Hormuz, it will be difficult for us to take action." Al Jaber also serves as the UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology. Japan is highly dependent on Middle Eastern energy, and if the Strait of Hormuz cannot be reopened in the short term, the impact could be significant. The prospect of rising domestic fuel and electricity prices may disrupt Sanae Takashi's plans to tackle inflation. Earlier on Thursday, Al Jaber also met with Japanese Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Akazawa Ryo Masa.
