By Kanoko Matsuyama, Cliff Venzon and Neil Jerome Morales Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates will support a Japanese initiative to bolster oil supplies in Southeast Asia after war-driven disruptions heightened concerns over energy security.
周四，沙特阿拉伯和阿联酋的官员参加了亚洲零排放社区（AZEC）的一场特别会议。来自 AZEC 11 个伙伴国——包括日本、印度尼西亚和澳大利亚——的部长齐聚马尼拉，讨论石油采购和战略储备方面的合作。该框架由日本发起，旨在促进地区在能源转型和安全方面的协作。
Officials from Saudi Arabia and the UAE joined a special session of the Asia Zero Emission Community on Thursday. Ministers from AZEC’s 11 partner nations — including Japan, Indonesia and Australia — gathered in Manila to discuss cooperation on oil purchases and strategic stockpiles. The framework was launched by Japan to promote regional collaboration on energy transition and security.
日本经济、贸易和产业部国务大臣高木圭在马尼拉对记者表示：“这两个中东国家都表达了愿意在加强亚洲石油储备能力方面开展合作的意愿。我们将进一步深化合作，以增强能源安全。”成员国通过了 AZEC 的部长级工作计划，以加强石油储备，并提升参与国应对潜在供应冲击的能力。
“Both countries from the Middle East expressed their willingness to cooperate on strengthening oil stockpiling capacity in Asia,” Japan’s State Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Takagi Kei told reporters in Manila. “We will further deepen our cooperation to strengthen energy security.”The members adopted AZEC’s ministerial work program to strengthen oil stockpiling and build participating countries’ capacity to respond to potential supply shocks.
今年 4 月，日本宣布为因原油价格飙升和中东战争导致供应中断而陷入困境的东南亚国家提供 100 亿美元财政支持。首相高市早苗的这项倡议包括对石油采购、储存和紧急储备的援助，旨在增强该地区应对未来冲击的能力。
In April, Japan announced $10 billion of financial support for Southeast Asian nations struggling with soaring crude prices and supply disruptions from the Middle East war. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s initiative includes assistance for oil procurement, storage and emergency reserves aimed at strengthening the region’s ability to withstand future shocks.
自 2 月底美伊战争爆发以来，亚洲承受了供应中断的主要冲击。这场冲突暴露出严重依赖石油进口的东南亚地区长期存在的脆弱性。冲突之前，该地区超过一半的原油进口来自波斯湾产油国，而日本约 90% 的石油来自该地区，其中大部分需经过霍尔木兹海峡。
Asia bore the brunt of disruptions after the US-Iran war started in late February. The conflict exposed a longstanding vulnerability for Southeast Asia, which relies heavily on imported oil. Before the conflict, more than half of the region’s crude imports came from Persian Gulf producers, while Japan sourced about 90% of its oil from the region, bulk of which passed through the Strait of Hormuz.
霍尔木兹海峡的关闭导致成本飙升，引发严重短缺，迫使一些炼油厂削减加工量，各国政府也只得对燃料供应进行配给，这促使政策制定者重新评估能源安全战略。
The closure of Hormuz sent costs soaring, caused severe shortages and forced some refiners to cut processing and governments to ration fuel supplies, prompting policymakers to reassess energy-security strategies.
菲律宾能源部长莎伦·加林在与高木举行的联合新闻发布会上表示：“近期全球能源市场出现的动荡，尤其是在霍尔木兹海峡这一关键咽喉地带，再次凸显了加强我们共同应对能源供应冲击准备的重要性。”
“The recent disruptions in global energy markets, particularly at the critical choke point of the Strait of Hormuz, have reinforced the importance of strengthening our collective preparedness against energy supply shocks,” Sharon Garin, Philippines’ energy secretary said at a joint briefing with Takagi.
但脆弱性依然存在。东南亚国家联盟多数成员国的石油储备仍然相对薄弱，而每桶超过100美元的原油价格使得重建库存成本高昂。
The vulnerability remains. Oil reserves across much of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations are still relatively thin, while crude prices above $100 a barrel have made rebuilding stockpiles expensive.
该拟议框架可能允许采购国与中东生产商进行双边供应安排。此类协议也将使波斯湾供应方受益，因为他们能将更多原油运至更靠近亚洲客户的地区。
The proposed framework could allow buying countries to negotiate bilateral supply arrangements with Middle Eastern producers. Such deals will also benefit Persian Gulf suppliers by positioning more of their crude closer to Asian customers.
