Date:

TOKYO Jul 28: Prime Minister KISHIDA Fumio is considering visiting Saudi Arabia in late August “to request an increase in crude oil pro- duction in light of the soaring energy prices associated with the pro- longed crisis in Ukraine,” Japanese officials said. Kishida plans to at- tend the 8th Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD8) in Tunisia on August 27th and 28th.

After that, he will visit Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Qatar, according to the officials. The visit comes while China and Russia try strengthening relations with oil-producing countries in the Middle East. US President Joe Biden visited Saudi Arabia this month. Prime Minister Kishida also met with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, who visited Japan on July 19.
