Japan and the UK are working together in a bid to cut Asia’s reliance on Russian oil. According to a 5 May article on Markets Insider, met Prime Ministers Fumio Kishida and Boris Johnson in London to finalise details of a security pact. The discussions are expected to result in an agreement to assist key Asian economies to ramp up development of green energy, allowing for countries to step away from Russian fuels. This meeting came after the European Union suggested a total ban on Russian oil imports.
