Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said Japan will take "all possible measures" to improve the situation in the Strait of Hormuz. 
"It is essential that stability in the Strait of Hormuz is restored as soon as possible and that the freedom and safety of navigation for vessels of all nations is ensured," Takaichi said to world leaders who were meeting Friday to discuss the safety of the critical waterway. 
"Japan will continue to work closely with the international community, including relevant countries and international organizations, and remains committed to taking all possible measures within its capacity," she added. 
Momentum for a lasting peace has been building, with Tehran saying Friday that Hormuz is open for commercial shipping after Israel agreed to a ceasefire in Lebanon.
