Abstract

Bilateral relations between Saudi Arabia and Japan have been strengthened since 1955, with a focus on strategic cooperation in the hydrocarbon sector. Saudi Arabia has been the primary exporter of petroleum to Japan, while Japan is a major importer of hydrocarbons from Saudi Arabia. Approximately 95% of Japan’s petroleum imports come from Saudi Arabia, making it one of Japan’s largest importing sectors. The introduction of the Saudi-Japan Vision 2030 framework expanded cooperation between the two countries, particularly in the energy sector. This framework facilitated cooperation in the renewable energy sector. The renewable energy sector holds great potential for collaboration between Saudi Arabia and Japan. This article explores two key aspects: (1) Saudi-Japan Vision 2030 as an energy cooperation framework and (2) cooperation in the renewable energy sector between Saudi Arabia and Japan. The article employs a bilateral cooperation and national interest approach, utilizing qualitative research methods with a case study to delve into the subject matter. The findings of the study indicate that the Saudi-Japan Vision 2030 represents a new era of cooperation between Saudi Arabia and Japan, particularly in the energy sector. This framework has successfully facilitated renewable energy cooperation between the two countries. By developing strategic initiatives in renewable energy resources, both countries aim to reach energy security and meet their objectives for alternative resources. This collaboration not only strengthens Saudi-Japan bilateral relation but also positions Japan and Saudi Arabia as key players in a sustainable energy future, aligning with their national interests and sustain-ability ambitions.
