WebinarAchieving Indo-Pacific Economic Prosperity
It has been four years since Prime Minister Abe proposed the "Free and Open
Indo-Pacific Strategy" at Tokyo International Conference on African Development(TICAD VI) in August 2016.
Japan has cooperated with other countries in order to realize a maritime
order based on the rule of law in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific region thatconnects Asia and Africa, and eliminated various threats such as security, terrorism,
natural disasters, and illegal operations. The idea of promoting free trade andinfrastructure investment through public-private partnerships by working together inpartner countries to achieve stability and economic growth in this region has become
widely shared by the international community.
To realize this concept, Japan will promote the development of high-quality
infrastructure in ASEAN and other countries. A framework for collaboration between
government financial institutions in Japan, the United States and Australia will also
be established to promote projects in the fields of energy, digital economy, andinfrastructure. Japan is also discussing the establishment of the "Blue Dot Network"with the United States, Australia, and other likeminded partners to evaluate andcertify the application of high quality standards in global infrastructure projects.
These activities have a significant impact on the trade and investment
activities of Japanese companies. Therefore, the Japan Machinery Center for Tradeand Investment has invited U.S. government officials to introduce a framework forsupporting institutions in the Indo-Pacific region, and explain the benefits ofpartnership between U.S. companies and Japanese companies.
