Japanese Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki
February 28, 2022

WASHNGTON - Earlier tonight, Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen spoke with Japan
Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki. Secretary Yellen pledged to work closely with Japan, and
with the G7, to isolate Russia from the global financial system in light of its unprovoked
invasion towards Ukraine. Secretary Yellen highlighted the force of the unprecedented and
coordinated measures from the U.S. and its partners and allies, including Japan, and
welcomed Japanʼs recent action towards the Central Bank of Russia and intention to take
action against Belarus. Both the U.S. and Japan committed to continue their close
coordination on actions moving forward to impose maximum costs on Russia.
