JAKARTA - Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong said the closure of the Strait of Hormuz was felt throughout the Asia Pacific region due to energy supply disruptions.
This was said by Wong during his visit in Tokyo to meet Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi on Tuesday, April 28.
"I hope to continue to coordinate with you regarding our response after the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the disproportionate impact on our region," he said on Tuesday 28 April, quoted from The Telegraph.
Wong also praised Japan's measures to secure energy supplies in its country.
According to Wong, due to the "closely related" supply chain, Australia has the opportunity to receive fuel imports from Japan.
He said the Australia-Japan economic relationship was "increasingly important as we face global disruptions".
Around a fifth of the world's oil supplies normally flow through the Strait of Hormuz. Its closure has impacted Asian countries that receive the majority of their energy supplies through the vital waterway.
