    - The P.M. was impressed in Japan by solar energy’s accessibility and affordability.
    - The two P.M.s agreed on the threat of global warming, affirmed Japan’s goal to bring down temperatures by 2050 and promised mutual cooperation.
    - The P.M. will also take up the matter of a safety bar on lorries to prevent accidents involving bicycles and pedestrians.

    QUOTES
    Abdullah: "This can be overcome by forging cooperation in research and development (R&D) with Japan, a country known for having numerous techniques to exploit solar energy…It's not as expensive as before. Some middle-class households are using solar power but not for the entire house…[Abe] said Japan is ready to work with other countries so that together they can focus on global warming. I told him that as an industrial powerhouse, Japan would surely have the means to carry out its plans…"
