拜登总统：感谢各位今天来参加启动“印太经济繁荣框架”（Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity）。
岸田首相，感谢你在我们准备这项宣布的过程中给予的领导与合作。
我们今天与印太地区的国家一道启动：澳大利亚、文莱、印度——顺便说一句，总理先生，也感谢你来到这里，印度总理——大韩民国、马来西亚、新西兰、菲律宾、新加坡、泰国和越南。
我们今天在这里只有一个单纯目标：21世纪的经济前景将在很大程度上由印太——即我们这个地区——书写。
印太地区涵盖世界一半的人口，占全球国内生产总值的60%。今天在座的国家和今后将加入框架的国家将要为一个面向所有人——我们所有人民——的经济愿景而努力，这个愿景就是：一个自由和开放、互联和繁荣、安全和有韧力的印太地区，并且我们的经济——这个地区的经济发展是有可持续性和包容性的。
我们正在为21世纪经济书写新的规则，从而有助于我们所有国家的经济更快速和更公平地发展。
我们将通过解决阻碍发展的一些最严峻挑战，并且最大程度地发挥出我们最强大的发展引擎的潜力，来做到这一点。
让我们从管理数字产品和服务的新贸易规则开始做起，从而使公司不必被迫为在一个国家经营而转让专有技术。
让我们作出首创性的供应链承诺，以便消除关键供应链中的瓶颈，并且建立预警系统，使我们能够防患于未然。
让我们——让我们致力于对清洁能源和脱碳作出其他首创性的承诺。
气候危机是一个生存威胁，正在给我们造成万亿经济破坏，但是，它也包含可观的潜力和机会，通过向清洁能源经济转型而创造良好的工作。
让我们堵住漏洞，杜绝窃取公共资源的腐败。
据估计，腐败消耗全球国内生产总值的2%到5%。它加剧不平等。它挖空国家为民服务的实力。
纳税和贸易同属一个框架，因为如果公司不缴纳应有的份额，政府就更难以支付贸易调整援助（Trade Adjustment Assistance）或者为教育、医疗服务或一系列共同投资提供资金——这给家庭造成极大困难，让他们感到无力抚养孩子和为孩子带来更好的生活。
这是最终我的经济政策——在国外和国内——我们国外和国内的政策的意义所在。这也是这个框架的意义所在。
所以，从今天的13个经济体开始——这些经济体代表着多方面前景——我们为共同的目标而努力。
这十分重要，因为我们成功的一个关键将是框架所强调的高标准和包容性。这个框架应促使印太地区各国争上游。
我想明确表示，这个框架将向未来希望加入的其他国家敞开，如果他们签署和符合目标并为实现那些目标而努力。
我很高兴过去两周来与你们许多人面对面见面。在美国–东盟峰会上，我在华盛顿和在我的亚洲之行中见到你们许多人。我非常希望今天倾听你们每个人的声音。
感谢你们抽出时间参加框架启动。
让我以这些话作为结束：美国在印太地区有深深的投入。我们致力于长期承诺，做好了捍卫我们愿景的准备，与朋友和合作伙伴——包括这里在座和在屏幕上的国家——共同使这个地区走向积极的未来。
这是我们议事日程的一项优先重点，我们将为取得进展每天不断与你们所有人共同努力，从而让我们能为我们全体人民带来切实、具体的福祉。
我相信这将是我们共同赢得21世纪竞争的途径。
再次感谢各位今天出席。我现在将请岸田首相讲几句话。
[活动出席人士讲话]
布林肯国务卿：谢谢。总统先生，现在请您作总结发言。
拜登总统：我将很简短。首先，让我感谢各位今天出席。并且，非常感谢首相先生对我们的款待。
我们启动了这个新框架。我感谢听到各位的意见和你们的贡献。显然，针对框架的每一支柱达成共识，我们前面还有许多艰苦的工作。
但是，我们今天的讨论表明，我们都认识到我们所需要的基本前进方向。确保印太地区自由和开放是我们的共同目标，它将为我们所有人的子孙后代带来更大的繁荣和更好的机会。
所以，让我们肩负起共同的使命，在完成启动后一道努力，朝着目标快速进展，并迅速推进首批承诺。
所以，再次感谢你，岸田首相，感谢你在这次启动中的有力领导作用和在东京对我们的欢迎。
我期待与各位继续一道努力，并加强经济合作，实现包容性发展和共同繁荣。
你们各位大概对这段时间——在过去一两个月里的时间里——见我见够了，但我再一次谢谢各位。我非常感谢各位正在进行的努力。我们能够——我认为我们能够取得一些切实的进展。
谢谢你们。

MAY 23, 2022•SPEECHES AND REMARKS
Izumi Garden GalleryTokyo, Japan
4:42 P.M. JST
PRESIDENT BIDEN:  Thank you all for joining today for the launch of the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity.
Prime Minister Kishida, thank you for your leadership and partnership as we prepared for this announcement.
We’re launching today with countries from across the Indo-Pacific — Australia, Brunei, India — and, by the way, Mr. Prime Minister, thank you for being here as well — Prime Minister of India — the Republic of Korea, Malaysia, and New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.
And we’re here today for one simple purpose: The future of the 21st century economy is going to be largely written in the Indo-Pacific — in our region.
The Indo-Pacific covers half the population of the world and more than 60 percent of the global GDP.  And the nations represented here today, and those who will join this framework in the future, are signing up to work toward an economic vision that will deliver for all peoples — all our peoples: the vision for an Indo-Pacific that is free and open, connected and prosperous, and secure as well as resilient, where our economic — where economic growth is sustainable and is inclusive.
We’re writing the new rules for the 21st century economy that are going to help all of our countries’ economies grow faster and fairer.
We’ll do that by taking on some of the most acute challenges that drag down growth and by maximizing the potential of our strongest growth engines.
Let’s start with new rules governing trade in digital goods and services so companies don’t have to hand over the proprietary technology to do business in a country.
Let’s create a first-of-its-kind supply chain commitments to eliminate bottlenecks in critical supply chains and develop early warning systems so we can identify problems before they occur.
And let’s — let’s pursue other first-of-its-kind commitments to clean energy and decarbonization.
The climate crisis is an existential threat that is costing us trillions in economic damage, but there’s also incredible potential and opportunity to solve problems and create good jobs by transitioning to a clean energy economies.
Let’s choke off the loopholes that get at the corruption that steals our public resources.It’s — it’s estimated that corruption saps between 2 to 5 percent of global GDP.  It exacerbates inequality.  It hollows out a country’s ability to deliver for its citizens.And tax and trade belongs in the same framework, because if companies aren’t paying their fair share, it’s harder for governments to pay for Trade Adjustment Assistance or to fund education or health services, or a range of public investments — that make it so hard for families, it feels like they can’t raise their children and give them a better life.
That’s ultimately my economic policy and — and foreign and domestic — what our foreign and domestic policy is about.  And that’s what this framework is about as well.
So, starting today with 13 economies — economies that represent diverse sets of perspectives as we work on pursuing our common goals.
That’s critical because a key to our success will be the framework’s emphasis on high standards and inclusivity.  This framework should drive a race to the top among the nations in the Indo-Pacific region.
And I want to be clear that the framework will be open to others who wish to join in the future if they sign up and meet the goals and work to achieve those goals.
I’m glad to have seen so many of you in person this — the past two weeks.  At the U.S.-ASEAN Summit, I saw many of you in Washington, and during my travels to Asia.  And I’m eager to hear from each of you today.
I thank you for taking the time to be part of this framework launch.
And let me close by saying the United States is deeply invested in the Indo-Pacific.  We’re committed for the long haul, ready to champion our vision for a positive future for the region together with friends and partners, including the nations in this room and on the screen.
It’s a priority in our agenda, and we’re going to keep working to make progress with all of you every day so that we can deliver real, concrete benefits for all our people.
That’s how I believe we will win the competition of the 21st century together.
So thank all of you again for joining today.  And I’ll invite Prime Minister Kishida to say a few words now.
Mr. Prime Minister.
(Event participants give remarks.)
SECRETARY BLINKEN:  Thank you, Mr. Secretary.  Mr. President, the floor is yours for closing remarks.
PRESIDENT BIDEN:  Well, I’ll be brief.  First of all, let me say thank you for everyone for joining today.  And thank you very much for hosting us, Mr. Prime Minister.
The — we launched this new framework.  I appreciate hearing from all of you and for your contributions.  And it’s clear there will be a lot of hard work ahead of us to forge consensus on each of the framework pillars.
But in our discussions today, it’s clear that we all recognize the fundamental direction we need to move in.  We share the same goal of ensuring a free and open Indo-Pacific that will deliver greater prosperity and greater opportunity for all of our children.
So let’s all take all the tasks that we have together, work together coming out of this launch, and to speed our progress toward that goal and work rapidly to develop the first commitments.
So thank you again, Prime Minster Kishida, for your strong leadership in this launch and for welcoming us here in Tokyo.
I’m looking forward to continuing to work with all of you and to strengthen the economic cooperation to deliver inclusive growth and shared prosperity.
You’re all probably tired of seeing me all this time — after all this time, in the last couple of months, but thank you again.  I really appreciate the work you’re all doing.  And we can — I think we can make some real progress.
Thank you.
