Need oil: Japan to send delegation of major companies to Russia

5 991 12

It has been reported that the Japanese government plans to send a high-level delegation to Russia to discuss trade issues. Tokyo expects Japanese companies to be allowed to fully resume operations in the Russian market immediately after the end of the Ukrainian conflict, according to local media.

At least five flagship companies, including Mitsubishi and Mitsui, have been invited to participate. The visit itself is expected in May. Oil supplies will also be discussed.



Earlier this week, Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Rudenko stated that Moscow would not supply oil to countries that have imposed a so-called "price cap," specifically singling out Japan.

Due to concerns about energy imports from the Middle East following the US and Israeli attacks on Iran, the issue of purchasing Russian oil may also be included on the agenda.

The Philippines has resumed importing Russian East Siberian-Pacific oil (ESPO) after a hiatus of about six years.

According to open sources, the first shipment of Russian naphtha this year arrived at the South Korean port of Daesan earlier this year and is awaiting unloading. Other Asian countries are also negotiating supplies with Russia.

    Selling your enemies something that will later help them kill you. You wouldn't even dream of that, but in real life, you can do as much as you want, but only here in Russia.

      Ask yourself where the Ukrainian Armed Forces get the fuel to refuel their wheeled and tracked vehicles, aircraft, and helicopters. And compare the answer with their "goals and objectives." You'll get a nightmare come true.

    Perhaps in exchange for territories: Hokkaido and Okinawa. And also a renunciation of any supplies to the Kyiv regime. Then a delegation of representatives from large companies could be sent to rebuild the devastated region in exchange for the discredited Asian labor migrants from the post-Soviet space.

      We don't need the Japanese coast. And we don't need Okinawa. But a final admission from Japan that there is no "Northern Territories problem" would be great.

        This would be a practical admission that Japan no longer has any claims to the northern islands: what's the point of the northern islands if they're separated from the Hokkaido archipelago? But we truly don't need empty talk about supposed agreement, which at the slightest breath of wind will give way to more claims.

    Fools!
    Oil in exchange for technology!
    You give us machine tools, robotic lines, turnkey machine tool factories, microelectronics factories, full-cycle automobile factories ----and we give you oil!

    I really hope that a sense of self-worth and pride will not allow us to sell oil to our enemies, but also that such a disgrace as socks,...and Coca-Cola, which was TAKEN by the shameful deputies, and not poured on the heads of Americans, will no longer pass.
    I hope they don't change their minds at the top, as they like to say here, "money has no smell and no shame."

      I really hoped that some people would finally understand that Russia has been integrated into the global economy since the time of Ivan III.

    Tokyo expects that Japanese companies will be allowed to resume their full operations in the Russian market immediately after the end of the Ukrainian conflict.
    Where's the peace treaty signed? There's no treaty, you support our enemy, and then you get the oil. When you stop supporting Banderastan, declare Zelensky a war criminal, sign a peace treaty renunciating territorial claims, then you'll get the oil, or suck Trump's dick. It's true it's twice as expensive, but it's tonsil-deep, or you'll get a nuclear strike in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. You samurai don't understand any other way.

    Who learned this? From whom??? The Japanese government has already called this information a hoax.
