• Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC), an
  incorporated administrative agency, is established by the
  Japanese government.
• The principal role of JOGMEC is to seek a stable supply of natural
  resources for Japanese industry as an agency implementing natural
  resource policies under jurisdiction of METI.

Since 1963                                                         Since 1967
