In the year of 2013，Japan intensifies the exercise of energy diplomacy. With the rapid development of exploitation and production of shale gas in United States and other North America countries，Japan attaches greater importance to implement “shale gas diplomacy” in that region. Meanwhile，Japan continues to work closely with countries in the Middle East，which has been Japan’s traditional supplier of petroleum and natural gas，deepen energy cooperation with ASEAN，and expand energy partnership in Africa and Latin America. The trend of Japan’s strengthening energy diplomacy will exert certain impacts on the world’s energy geopolitics.
