Japan has promised to reduce Iranian oil imports in support of U.S. sanctions aimed at pressuring Iran to end its nuclear program. Finance Minister Jun Azumi said today Japan which relies on Iran for 10 percent of its oil will take concrete steps to cut the amount of oil it imports from Iran. The remarks came after Azumi met with U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. "We are in the early stages, just initial stages of consulting with our allies, both in Europe and in Japan and around the world on how best to achieve those objectives. But we are working very, very closely together. And we very much appreciated the support Japan has provided in standing with us and the international community in support of this very important strategic objective." U.S. Treasury Secretary says. He is on a three-day diplomatic tour of China and Japan.
