Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim met in Tokyo on June 8, agreeing to strengthen bilateral cooperation on energy security. The agreement comes amid growing uncertainties over energy supply and prices in Southeast Asia and the broader Asia-Pacific region.
At the meeting, the two leaders stressed the importance of ensuring stable energy supplies and pledged to promote joint projects in renewable energy and clean energy technology. Japan will support Malaysia’s energy transition, including infrastructure development and technology-sharing.
The move is expected to bolster bilateral ties and enhance regional energy security. Specific cooperation plans will be discussed and implemented by relevant ministries in the coming months.
