Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and her Malaysian counterpart Anwar Ibrahim agreed Wednesday to deepen energy security cooperation including on liquefied natural gas exports, as Japan seeks to diversify supplies amid the Middle East conflict.
After summit talks, Takaichi said the two countries also signed a cooperation document between their coast guards in their effort to ensure greater regional maritime security as they promote the vision of a free and open Indo-Pacific amid China's growing influence in the region.
