Saudi Japan Vision 2030, Energy Security, Bilateral CooperationAbstract
Bilateral cooperation between Saudi Arabia and Japan takes various forms. As an illustration, the two countries have demonstrated their long-term commitment to working together in multiple fields, which ultimately sparked the Saudi-Japan Vision 2030. In this context, collaboration in the energy security sector is essential, especially with Saudi Arabia, which wishes to switch from fossil to renewable energy. This study will review further the implementation of Saudi Arabia-Japan bilateral cooperation through Saudi-Japan Vision 2030 in energy security. Next, the research will explore the various projects, activities, and types of collaboration that have been undertaken between the two countries under the vision they share. The author has explained how it is implemented and elaborated on how this bilateral cooperation has been implemented in such a way through various activities to ensure energy security. If we discuss energy security, many processes must be considered; therefore, it is natural that the author has described several collaborations, projects, and training programs as a form of effort between two countries to develop their energy sector and achieve energy security.
