美国和日本扩大印度-太平洋经济合作（The United States and Japan Expand Indo-Pacific Economic Cooperation）
在访问东京（Tokyo）期间，国务卿安东尼·布林肯（Antony J. Blinken）与日本外交大臣茂木敏充（Toshimitsu Motegi）再次肯定了美日联盟（U.S.-Japan Alliance）对印度-太平洋（Indo-Pacific）地区以及全球和平、安全与繁荣所具有的极为重要的基石作用。布林肯国务卿和茂木外相对两国在海上安全、朝鲜去核化以及解决绑架案问题和其他安全问题上的继续合作——如“2+2安全磋商委员会联合声明”(Joint Statement of the Security Consultative Committee [2+2])所述——表示欢迎。国务卿和外相还对缅甸发生政变和使用暴力给予谴责，对中华人民共和国扩大专制性和强力行动表示关注，并且同意在上述这些问题上加强同心合作。
深化美日经济合作是两国政府一个共同的关键重点，布林肯国务卿和茂木外相强调了我们在经济事务上为促进自由与开放的印度-太平洋而进行的密切合作和持续的进展，并承诺将把美日两国在气候变化、清洁能源、网络安全、供应链以及2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）等方面的协调更加深化。
气候变化
美国和日本致力于在4月22日领导人气候峰会（Leaders’ Climate Summit）和第二十六届联合国气候变化大会（COP26）召开以前乃至更长远的未来，加强在气候规划和脱碳中的合作。双方将为实现2050年的净零目标以及与2050年目标相应的2030年的具体目标而努力。
清洁能源
美国和日本将运用现有双边和地区机制，并继续开展美日跨机构间的密切合作，以便与印度-太平洋地区的伙伴实现我们在脱碳和气候变化领域中的共同目标。两国还承诺将讨论如何以支付得起和有效的方式，通过美国和日本机构及私人行业的密切协调，向地区伙伴推广采用和配备清洁能源技术。
网络安全
美国和日本将加强目前的美日网络事务对话（U.S.-Japan Cyber Dialogue），以便加倍展开涉及网络威胁的合作和信息交流，同时协同努力，对从事重大恶意网络活动，违背负责任国家网际行为框架的国家追究责任。美国和日本还可以与印度-太平洋地区的国家就能力建设项目加强合作。两国还将共同努力，与国际社会志同道合的成员一道，促进在网络空间的负责任的国家行为。
供应链
鉴于2月24日签署的《关于美国供应链的行政命令》（Executive Order on America’s Supply Chains），美国和日本将通过跨机构对话就共同的要务进行双边接触，以便使美国和日本共同兴趣行业的供应链更有承受力。美国和日本还将利用双边对话，探索与业界接触互动的途径，扩大未来的地区性合作。
COVID-19合作
美国和日本保证，将利用我们的密切合作和对COVID-19的联合反应，进一步协助全球伙伴，帮助同这场疫情作斗争，并且为走向一个可持续的，有韧力的绿色的复元而努力。两国肯定了双方对世卫组织（WHO）、全球疫苗联盟（Gavi）和疫苗全球获取机制（COVAX）等多边努力所给予的有力支持，并将尤其寻求更大机会，与东盟（ASEAN）等伙伴一道，为增强地区能力而联合开展健康安全合作。基于四方伙伴会议的支持，美国和日本重申致力于扩大全球疫苗生产，支持为印度-太平洋地区所需人口接种疫苗。

The United States and Japan Expand Indo-Pacific Economic Cooperation
MEDIA NOTE
The United States and Japan Expand Indo-Pacific Economic Cooperation
Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken and Japan’s Minister for Foreign Affairs Toshimitsu Motegi reaffirmed the vital importance of the U.S.-Japan Alliance as the cornerstone of peace, security, and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region and around the world during Secretary Blinken’s visit to Tokyo.  Secretary Blinken and Foreign Minister Motegi welcomed our continued cooperation on maritime security, the denuclearization of the DPRK and the resolution of the abductions issue, and other security issues as stated in the Joint Statement of the Security Consultative Committee (2+2).  The Secretary and the Foreign Minister also condemned the coup and use of violence in Burma, expressed concern over the expansion of authoritarian and aggressive actions by the People’s Republic of China, and agreed to strengthen like-minded coordination across these issues.
Deepening U.S.-Japan economic cooperation is a key priority for both governments.  Secretary Blinken and Foreign Minister Motegi highlighted our close cooperation and continued progress in promoting a Free and Open Indo-Pacific with regard to economic issues, pledging to deepen U.S.-Japan coordination in the areas of climate change, clean energy, cybersecurity, supply chains, and COVID-19.
Climate Change 
The United States and Japan commit to enhancing cooperation on climate ambition and decarbonization in the lead up to the April 22 Leaders’ Climate Summit, COP26, and beyond.  The two sides will work towards achieving their 2050 net zero goals and 2030 targets aligned with these 2050 goals.
Clean Energy 
The United States and Japan will leverage existing bilateral and regional mechanisms and continue close U.S.-Japan interagency cooperation to meet our shared decarbonization and climate change goals with partners in the Indo-Pacific region.  Both countries also commit to discussing ways to expand the adoption and deployment of clean energy technologies to regional partners in an affordable and effective manner through close coordination among U.S. and Japanese agencies and the private sector.
Cybersecurity 
The United States and Japan will strengthen the current U.S.-Japan Cyber Dialogue to redouble our efforts on cooperation and information sharing related to cyber threats, as well as collaboration to hold states accountable when they engage in significant malicious cyber activity that violates the framework for responsible state behavior in cyberspace.  The United States and Japan can also strengthen cooperation on capacity building programs with countries in the Indo-Pacific region.  Both countries also will work together to advance responsible state behavior in cyberspace in conjunction with like-minded members of the international community.
Supply Chains
The United States and Japan will engage bilaterally through interagency dialogue on shared priorities to enhance supply chain resilience in sectors of mutual interest to the United States and Japan in view of the “Executive Order on America’s Supply Chains” signed on February 24.  Leveraging the bilateral dialogue, the United States and Japan will also explore ways to engage with industry and to expand future regional cooperation.
COVID-19 Cooperation
The United States and Japan pledge to leverage our close collaboration and joint response to COVID-19 to further assist partners globally to help fight the pandemic and work towards a sustainable, resilient, and green recovery.  Both countries recognized their strong support to the multilateral efforts of the WHO, Gavi, and COVAX, and will especially seek greater opportunities for joint health security cooperation to bolster capacity in the region with partners like ASEAN.  Under the auspices of the QUAD meeting, the United States and Japan have reaffirmed their commitment to expanding global vaccine manufacturing and supporting vaccination for people in need in the Indo-Pacific.
