Both sides confirmed their commitment to work together to build resilient and reliable supply chains in clean energy sectors such as wind, solar, and hydrogen. 

The first meeting of the Japan-EU Intergovernmental Gas Dialogue also took place as part of the dialogue. Participants re-affirmed the importance of a resilient natural gas and liquified natural gas (LNG) sector for affordability and security of supply while energy systems progress on decarbonisation. 

The dialogue comes just 2 months after the EU-Japan Summit and announcement of a new 'Japan-EU Competitiveness Alliance' to deepen cooperation on trade, economic security, innovation and green and digital transitions.
