Government policies on overseas development of infrastructure(Points of the “Infrastructure System Export Strategy”)●“Infrastructure System Export Strategy” summarizes the basic policy of the government (part of the“Japan Revitalization Strategy”)

 The regional initiative policy indicates expanding to the world from ASEAN.
 Mobilizes all measures such as the “5 pillars”, to secure ¥30 trillion (2020) in markets.
1. Promote public-private collaboration toward enhancing
global competitiveness of corporations

ASEAN

・Diverse, strong trade promotion
・Strategic growth of economic cooperation (Effective use of govt. support tools)⇒ F/S; Proof projects; Tech aid; gratis fund aid; yen loans; public finance・Enhancement of public-private collaboration systems
・Regional/wide-area initiatives
・From upstream to downstream
・Develop business environments in legal systems, etc.

 Increase infrastructure exports in all fields
 Support for advancing Japanese companies byenhancing supply chains

Southwest Asia, Middle East, Russia/CIS,
Latin America
Major growth markets. Falling behind on trade, investment,
and overseas development of infrastructure, partially forcultural reasons.
 In the field of infrastructure, Japan must work intensively
to win orders for major projects ahead of competitor
countries.

AfricaHas not been positioned as a business development field forcorporations.
 Collaborate as ODA to produce “as many success stories as
possible”.

Others (developed countries, etc.)
 Promote infrastructure export leading to support forvulnerability to natural disasters securing resource rights
 Promote infrastructure export in fields where Japan candemonstrate its strengths, such as power and transport.

5 Pillars

Regional Initiative Policies“A market we cannot lose, must not fail in”.
“FULL ADVANCE” is the keyword.

2. Support for small to mid size companies and local
governments, HR development
・Overseas infrastructure development by small to medium companies andlocal governments
・Development of global human resources and personal network building

3. Securing international standards that make use ofadvanced technology and knowledge
・Secure international standards, enhance authentication infrastructure・Overseas development support of low carbon technology
・Lead mainstreaming of disaster prevention

4. Infrastructure fields that will be new frontiers(Medical field, agriculture field, space field, water and sewage services)

5. Promote stable and affordable securing of resources(natural gas, oil, mineral resources, coal)5(From the Economic Infrastructure Strategic Conference “Infrastructure System Export Strategy” (Revised May 23, 2016))

MLIT’s initiatives for promoting infrastructure investment

MLIT Infrastructure System Overseas Development Action Plan
Background○ The infrastructure market is growing rapidly, especially in Asia. The launch of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) at
the end of 2015 and the outline agreement and signing of the TPP agreement accelerates this process.
○ In May 2015, Prime Minister Abe presented “High Quality Infrastructure Partnerships”, and in November of 2015 policies
to enhance related systems and financial support measures were revealed.
○ Yet, competition with competitors to secure orders is growing fierce, so more strategic initiatives are required.

○ The role MLIT holds in overseas infrastructure development is very large, so it is necessary to continue and enhance thecurrent initiatives, while maximizing use of expanding the above systems, taking new initiatives that support current
situational changes.

Development of soft infrastructureand human resource development

International Standardization Initiatives in MLIT fields○ Japan plays a leading role in such fields as automobiles, railroads, sewage treatment, roads, marine, etc. for international
standardization.

○ Because acquiring international standards/regulations for technology that Japan has strength in is an extremely effective
initiative for making Japan’s “high quality infrastructure” into international standards, and spreading technology and know-how
Japan has strengths in as the “Japanese Method”, it is necessary to work steadily on this.
Automotive Field

Road Field Japan leads discussion of automatic driving
technology, such as holding the co-presidency with
the UK in the Automatic Driving Subcommittee ofthe United Nations World Forum for
Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP29).

 Japan leads discussion of standards for the ITS(*) field in technical committees of theInternational Organization for Standardization(ISO) As various countries advance the development of
automatic driving technology, in order to develop
an environment for global performance ofJapanese automobile manufacturers which havetechnical strength, Japan makes its national
systems and technology into international
standards.

 Promote international standardization of ITS
technology in international standardization
agencies in order to grow and develop theeffective application of related domestic
industries.

Auto passing/merging/dividing(Automatic steering)Standardize performance ofauto brakes and auto steering Japan also promotes international
standardization of Japanese technology,
as this leads to overseas expansion ofrailroad systems which Japan as strengthin.

Implementing training in collaboration with JICA••••

While collaborating/consulting with JICA, we implement training (by country/challenge) according to our partner country’s
needs and challenges.
MLIT proposes training content and contributes deeply to content development for 21 training courses by challenge (planned
for implementation in 2015).
We accept approximately 1,300 trainees (2015 performance) for training by challenge/country, and arrange the dispatch staff
trainers and on-site observation.
In the future, we will use JICA training to the maximum extent as a perfect opportunity to represent Japanese infrastructure
project and as a human network for infrastructure exports.

■ 2014 JICA training by challenge
Theme: Sewage technology/urban drainage
Trainees: 17 from 12 countries, including Indonesia, Myanmar, and Brazil
Summary: Implemented a rich training menu including lectures, practicaltraining, and on-site observation of planning, design, construction,and maintenance management of sewage treatment, sludge
treatment, and flood countermeasures•Until now there was only lectures and on-site observation of the common sewage
treatment process (standard activated sludge process) in Japan, but from 2014, weadded lectures and on-site observation of small-scale sewage treatment plants(OD process, etc.) as sewage treatment process that meet the needs and situationsof training partner countries.
•Also, on-site observation in the Tohoku Region has been incorporated into thecurriculum, setting opportunities to learn about support during disasters andrestoration of facilities.
•Additionally, by incorporating observation of private factories for pipes used inrepair and update of pipelines, we have made opportunities to represent Japanese
corporations.

Interagency collaboration for overseas expansion in thegeospatial information field

Advancing overseas expansion in the geospatial information field while
linking with various platforms in the space and g-space fields.

• Task Force for Overseas Expansion of Space Systems– MLIT is also participating in the Thailand/ASEAN working groups, etc.
– In addition to promoting use of quasi-zenith satellite systems, support is being
provided for installation of networks of continuously operating reference stations(CORS) in countries where such stations have yet to be installed（example:
Thailand）.
– Support for building networks of CORS is also included in the progress schedule of
the Basic Plan for Space.

• Conference to Advance Utilization of Geospatial Information– A team to promote overseas expansion was set up in Nov. 2015.
– MLIT（Engineering Affairs Division） is also participating in the pertinent team, which
is linked with Task Force for Overseas Expansion of Space Systems.

Efforts by countries of ASEAN to build networks ofcontinuously operating reference stations (CORS)• In the countries of ASEAN too, progress is being made in building networks of continuously operatingreference stations for the purposes of each country.
• Among the 10 countries of ASEAN, 3 countries have not yet adopted CORS or are engaged in test
adoption.
• (Even among countries which have installed a nationwide CORS network, dislike in Japan, in somecountries the system has not been opened for civilian use.)

individual expert, background of activities and current situation in Thailand

Effects and role of continuously operatingreference stations
・Installation of electronic reference stations
network is crucial for efficient maintenance ofgeodetic system and conducting surveys.
・Uniformly installed and operated system will
enable various services based on position
information
・Japan is a country which has been the world
leader in installing a network of CORS. By
keeping a dense network of these stations, we
maintain a stable geodetic coordinate system,and this also enables a variety of uses such as
more efficient surveying and unmanned
construction.
In Feb. 2015, Japan and
Thailand agreed tocooperate regarding
adoption of CORS using
