TOKYO (Reuters) – The United States and Australia have shown an understanding to Japan’s repeated request to boost output of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and ensure a stable supply, Japanese industry minister Koichi Hagiuda said in Sydney on Wednesday.
“I have again asked the United States and Australia which share values with Japan to increase LNG production and ensure a stable supply, and both countries have shown an understanding to our position,” Hagiuda told a virtual news conference.
