Stable and efficient energy supplies form the basis for business
activities and national life, and dealing with the risks associated
with energy supplies is tantamount to supplying a "safety net" for
business and life. This makes it essential that we endeavor to build
systems that will answer the demand for stable supplies,
environmental protection, and efficiency.
These programs will stabilize life in Japan and enable the people of
Japan to enjoy stable, efficient, and sustainable supplies of energy.
In light of the growing demand for energy in the Asian region and
other parts of the world, the widening scope of international efforts
to conserve the environment, and the rising dependence of Japan
on the Middle East in its petroleum imports, we will promote the
formulation of common awarenesses and cooperation in energy
and environment issues with other Asian countries. We will also
pursue multifaceted, strategic relations with oil-producing
countries in order to secure stable supplies of petroleum
resources.
