| Description | This chapter examines Japan's energy policy and its parallel energy diplomacy toward Gulf energy producers. It illustrates Japan's balancing diplomacy in action by tracing the similarities and differences in its approach to the two Gulf hydrocarbon producers, Iran and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states, which are most pivotal to Japan's energy supplies. Iran's announcement of its discovery of oil in the Azadegan field in September 1999 further increased the significance of Iranian oil to Japan. In parallel, Japan's interest in GCC energy producers increased, particularly with the aim of promoting investments in upstream oil operations but also of generally increasing mutual investments in order to deepen economic interdependence between the Gulf and Japan. For Japan, the further development of beneficial interdependent, mutual interests is very important for the stability of bilateral relationships and its energy diplomacy will therefore continue in tandem with the evolution of its overall national energy policy.
