TOKYO: Japan on Thursday said it was planning to reduce its dependence on Iranian oil imports in response to a US-led drive to squeeze Tehran into giving up its nuclear programme.

"In the past five years, we have reduced... the amount of oil imported (from Iran)," Finance Minister Jun Azumi said during a joint press conference with US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.

"We wish to take planned and concrete steps to further reduce this share, which now stands at 10 percent," Azumi said. (AFP)
