The Japanese ambassador to Yemen, Yuichi Nakashima, confirmed that his country supports Saudi Arabia in confronting the threats targeting the security of the Red Sea, freedom of navigation, and international trade. He stated that attacks on commercial vessels are unacceptable. Nakashima explained that Japan is considering participating in the Saudi initiative for Red Sea security and is maintaining communications with regional parties, including Iran, to de-escalate tensions and support regional stability. He also announced the upcoming launch of a project to rehabilitate Aden Port to enhance its capacity for ship maintenance and shipping services, emphasizing that the security of the Red Sea is a top priority for Japan due to its connection to global trade and Japan's energy supplies.
