ABU DHABI 3 May 2019: The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) on Wednesday celebrated the new Japanese Era, known as Reiwa, displaying images on the facade of its headquarters to mark the new era.
On May 1, 2019, Emperor Akihito stood down handing over the monarchy to his son Naruhito.
Akihito stepped down due to health reasons, becoming the first Japanese emperor in 200 years to do so.
Adnoc is a reliable partner in meeting the energy needs of Japan, and has a long history of mutually beneficial strategic partnerships with Japanese oil and gas companies that span over four decades and cover the entire oil and gas value chain, said Wam.
The UAE is the second largest exporter of crude oil to Japan, with strong bilateral economic relations dating back to 1962 when the first shipment of UAE crude oil was exported from Umm al-Shaif offshore field in Abu Dhabi to Japan.
