The meeting was attended by Mikhail Galuzin, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation to Japan, and supported by the Trade Mission of the Russian Federation in Japan and JOGMEC (Japan Oil Gas and Metals National Corporation).

The Joint Coordination Committee had been established in September 2019 with a view to develop strategic cooperation in energy sector and to elaborate on new joint projects implementation.

At the meeting, the parties discussed the current state and prospects for intensification of the dialogue between Rosneft and the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy of Japan, as well as interested Japanese companies, over various areas of the Committee’s work. Possibilities of increasing supplies of crude and petroleum products from Russia to Japan, opportunities for cooperation in the LNG sector, upstream and petrochemical  projects, equipment manufacturing and supplying, and research activities drew special attention.

The next meeting of the Committee is scheduled for H2 2021.
