Japan's Takaichi is seeking closer cooperation with the International Energy Agency (IEA) on energy security. The goal is to make the global supply-demand structure more resilient.

Takaichi recently met with IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol in Tokyo to discuss this cooperation.

The meeting highlights Japan's efforts to strengthen its ties with international organizations to address energy security concerns.

## Why it matters A more resilient global supply-demand structure for energy can help mitigate the impact of disruptions and price volatility. This can have significant implications for economies and industries that rely heavily on energy imports.

By working closely with the IEA, Japan aims to contribute to a more stable and secure global energy market. This cooperation can also facilitate the sharing of best practices and expertise in energy management and security.
