Baku - APA-Economics. Japan pledged on Thursday to take concrete action to cut Iranian oil imports in response to an appeal for support from visiting U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, as Washington steps up efforts to sanction Tehran over its disputed nuclear programme, APA reports quoting Reuters.

Japan Finance Minister Jun Azumi said Iranian crude makes up 10 percent of Japan’s overall oil imports.

"We would like to take action concretely to further reduce (that) in a planned manner," he said after meeting Geithner.

"On the other hand, we need some time in non-crude oil related areas, so I asked the Secretary to take Japan’s situation into consideration."
