Saudi Arabia And Japan Reaffirm Close Bilateral Ties


 Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan and Japan’s Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi held bilateral talks on Tuesday in Tokyo, the capital of Japan, further strengthening the cooperation between the two countries.

The Japanese foreign minister expressed his gratitude to Saudi Arabia for its condolences sent after the death of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Hayashi reportedly said, “I welcome the cooperation between both countries, such as the telephone call between Japanese Prime Minister Kishida and his royal highness Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman.” He further said, “I hope that the bilateral ties will be further strengthened.”

Japan’s current Prime Minister Fumio Kishida also received a call from Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, during his visit to Japan.

Prince Faisal bin Farhan said that Saudi Arabia wants to further strengthen its relationship with Japan through cooperation in various fields. Reportedly, PM Kishida also said that he wants to further expand the friendly relationship with Saudi Arabia as a strategic partner under the “Japan-Saudi Vision 2030”. 

Japan–Saudi Arabia relations

The official relations between Japan and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) were established in 1955. In 2015, Japan became the third-largest trading partner of Saudi Arabia, importing $45.4 billion in petroleum products and exporting $7.5 billion in finished goods. In 2019, both countries signed several agreements that aim at implementing projects in several strategic areas. 

In March 2022, both countries agreed to bolster cooperation on stabilizing global crude oil markets after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine sent prices surging across the world. Both countries also confirmed close coordination in responding to the crisis in Ukraine. 

The Japanese PM Kishida expressed his appreciation for the stable supply of crude oil from Saudi Arabia. He also requested continued cooperation in stabilizing the international crude oil market.

The Shocking Hospital Murder Video Exposing Al Julani Group’s Inhumanity in Syria

-
  The Inhuman Reality of a Gruesome Video There is a very disturbing video possibly shot in Syria, that clearly show the enemies of mankind in war crimes. It shows Al Julani’s group killing injured soldiers in a hospital – soldiers who are on the ground, strapped to bandages and wires, powerless to fight back. Such a calculated violence in a structure that is intended for healing resonates violence that has become part and parcel of this conflict. Such gruesome footage raises critical questions: At what point can a faction go in order to subdue another faction and where does the line between war and simple manslaughter lie? A Violation of Moral and Ethical Boundaries Hospitals are always seen as a safe place universally, even when there is war going on. According to the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights (SOHR), such acts took place during the Dawn of Freedom military operation conducted by Turkish-backed groups against the SDF. These fighters are wrong on so many levels – indeed t...

  Iran might be going to lose its partner Hamas, which Israel looks to overcome. Yet, is it likewise going to acquire another accomplice, Sudan, on the western side of the Red Ocean? Just business as usual in Sudan. For quite a long time the nation experienced nationwide conflict and starvation, set off by strict contentions and battles for power between the middle and the fringe, finishing quite a while back in the public authority's mission of slaughters focusing on African ethnic gatherings in the defiant region of Darfur. There was a concise time of trust in 2018 - 2022 when Sudanese rampaged to oust the tactical legislature of General Omar Bashir, who partook in the sponsorship of worldwide Islamists, including the Muslim Fellowship. In October 2020, the temporary government even marked (yet didn't endorse) a standardization concurrence with Israel. From that point forward, the nation's expectations for a quiet change to a majority rules system have been run. In April ...

 TikTok is facing a potential ban in the US and is gearing up for a legal fight. A recently signed law forces the popular video app's parent company, ByteDance, to sell its US operations within nine months or face a shutdown. The US government alleges that ByteDance's ties to China pose a national security risk, with concerns about user data collection. TikTok vehemently denies these accusations and argues the law is a de facto ban. "Make no mistake, this is a ban," declared TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew in a video message. He portrayed the move as an attack on free speech and user expression, claiming the platform reflects American values. TikTok plans to challenge the law in court, citing potential First Amendment violations. The company isn't alone in its resistance. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has also voiced concerns about the law's precedent for government control over social media. This situation highlights the ongoing friction between the US an...
