KEIDANREN
1. Foreword
For over half a century since its inception in 1967, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has been a regional cooperation organization that aims for economic growth and social and cultural development カジノシークレット 出金 時間he region#1 while expanding its membership.#2 The 10 ASEAN member states each have their unique languages, racial mix, culture, climate, political systems, and other characteristics. This diversity is precisely what renders the whole region even more fascinating.#3 The Japanese business sector appreciates the ASEAN countries' mutual respect for diversity and solidarity as a community カジノシークレット 出金 時間heir endeavor to achieve global prosperity and stability.
The ASEAN states are steadily achieving economic growth under their own policies, giving full play to their strengths in agriculture, forestry, fisheries, mining, and other primary industries; electronics, electrical machinery, automobiles, and other secondary industries; and logistics, finance, insurance, and other tertiary industries. In recent years, ASEAN has not only continued its efforts to build infrastructure and attract investments; it has also stepped up work to incorporate industrial digital transformation, the promotion of startups, and other policies in its growth strategies in its effort to nurture next-generation industries to pursue economic development カジノシークレット 出金 時間he new era.#4
At the same time, ASEAN has also been working on the abolition of tariffs withカジノシークレット 出金 時間he region#5 and institutional and physical economic integration based on the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity (MPAC).#6 Furthermore, it is also moving forward in pursuit of further growth for ASEAN as a community by giving full play to ASEAN centrality#7 and taking such steps as conclusion of economic partnership agreements (EPA) with countries outside the region.#8
While the current COVID pandemic has had a devastating impact on the economy and society, ASEAN maintains great potential to become the growth center of the world.#9 At the same time, with its economic development, the international community has also come to have greater expectations on ASEAN to play a more active role in resolving global issues, such as climate change.
Therefore, with an eye on the new post-corona era, it is now even more important for Japan to make full use of the tangible and intangible assets it has accumulated over the course of its economic activities to strengthen cooperation with ASEAN, tap its vitality, and aim for mutual development through the co-creation of new values.
2. History of Relation-Building between Japan and カジノシークレット 出金 時間SEAN States
Japan is geographically close to カジノシークレット 出金 時間SEAN countries. The Japanese government and private sector have built partnerships and cooperative relations with these countries for economic development and prosperity by building social infrastructure, concluding free trade agreements, and other initiatives through bilateral, regional, ASEAN wide, and various other frameworks at different levels.#10
These activities over the years have contributed to social stability and development カジノシークレット 出金 時間he ASEAN countries and ASEAN as a group. Particularly since the mid-1980s, Japanese companies have vigorously rolled out their business operations and expanded trade and investment relations with the ASEAN states, which boast of such advantages as abundant labor force, diligent people, potential for market expansion, and steady progress in infrastructure construction.#11
Today, ASEAN is of pivotal importance for Japan's manufacturing industries as the core of their overseas production bases. One factor behind this is the existence of an ASEAN-centered network of EPAs actively promoted by the regional group. Furthermore, the extensive network of global supply chains encompassing the whole region not only contributes to its sustained growth but is also the source of Japanese companies' international competitiveness. In addition, the non-manufacturing sectors are also actively expanding into ASEAN, supporting the manufacturing industries through logistics, financial, insurance, and other services, as well as meeting the increasing consumption needs and domestic demand there.
Japanese companies doing business カジノシークレット 出金 時間he ASEAN countries#12 have advanced with ASEAN on the path of economic growth while playing a significant role in creating jobs and developing human resources.#13 Today, Japan and ASEAN are inseparable partners bound by the strong bonds formed through these companies' business activities that have taken roots カジノシークレット 出金 時間he region.
3. Importance of Japan-ASEAN Relations in a Changing Global Environment
The world is plagued today by numerous social issues on a global scale, such as the spread of the COVID pandemic and climate change. On the other hand, while advances カジノシークレット 出金 時間he use of digital technology have enhanced convenience カジノシークレット 出金 時間he people's life, certain unexpected social risks have also emerged. In addition, many countries have taken protectionist measures, thus seriously destabilizing the international economic order.#14
As we face a turning point in history, we must overcome these issues and realize a sustainable society. Toward this end, multilateral cooperation and the generation and implementation of new ideas that are not simply an extension of existing ones are necessary.
With these issues in mind, Keidanren released ".The NEW Growth Strategy" in November 2020,#15 asserting that in order to build a sustainable society, it is important to make full use of digital technology to realize "Society 5.0#16 for SDGs,"#17 a society that strives to achieve both economic development and resolution of social issues. This proposal pointed out that the key to this endeavor is the co-creation of values with diverse stakeholders.
Japan and ASEAN have built an unshakable cooperative relationship for peace, stability, prosperity, and development カジノシークレット 出金 時間he Asian region, with numerous achievements カジノシークレット 出金 時間his respect. Building on this, both parties must continue to bring together their strengths to drive the world economy and resolve social issues as one of the key players カジノシークレット 出金 時間he Asian region. Furthermore, ASEAN occupies a pivotal position as the cornerstone of the international community's stability and prosperity カジノシークレット 出金 時間he context of Japan's concept of a Free and Open Indo-Pacific (FOIP). ASEAN also advocates its own vision for the Indo-Pacific, "ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific" (AOIP).#18 The Japan-ASEAN Summit of November 2020 issued the "Joint Statement of the 23rd ASEAN-Japan Summit on Cooperation on ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific," which confirmed that カジノシークレット 出金 時間OIP and FOIP share common basic principles and announced the strengthening of initiatives for AOIP cooperation.#19 Therefore, it has become even more important for the Japanese business sector to further reinforce its cooperation with ASEAN, which will remain an important partner under the free trade and investment regime,#20 to co-create new values toward the realization of a sustainable society and jointly open up a new era.
4. Japan-ASEAN Cooperation and Co-creation カジノシークレット 出金 時間he New Era
— Toward Building a Sustainable Society through a Balance between Dynamic Growth and Resolution of Social Issues
Striking a balance between カジノシークレット 出金 時間chievement of dynamic growth and resolution of social issues is required for building a sustainable society.
In order to achieve ASEAN's dynamic growth, Japanese companies need to persist in infrastructure construction and active trade and investment カジノシークレット 出金 時間he diverse industrial sectors, as well as cooperate with ASEAN to engage in responsive business activities that fully address the diversity and needs of each country, such as human resources development and technology transfer. At the same time, Japan and ASEAN need to co-create and respond to social issues common to both parties, including climate change, disaster prevention and reduction, and medical and healthcare services.
Promotion of digital transformation (DX)#21 is also essential for opening up new growth areas. Japan and ASEAN should lead the world in realizing Society 5.0 through collaboration with startups, offering digital technology-based solutions, and other initiatives.
Below are the five major areas where Japan and ASEAN must strive to cooperate and co-create カジノシークレット 出金 時間he new era.
(1) Building Hard and Soft Social Infrastructure for Greater Connectivity
(a) Promoting the Building of High-Quality Infrastructure
Building social capital to enable the free movement of people, goods, capital, services, data, and more is indispensable for realizing economic growth.
Together with the people of the ASEAN countries, Japan has utilized ODA for projects to build infrastructure that serves as the foundation of economic activities, such as roads, bridges, ports, airports, and electric power faicilities, withカジノシークレット 出金 時間hese countries and カジノシークレット 出金 時間he East-West Economic Corridor, the Southern Economic Corridor, the Maritime ASEAN Economic Corridor, and elsewhere, with the aim of improving the people's livelihood. As a result, steady progress is being made in infrastructure construction under the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity (MPAC).#22 Japan is expected to continue to be involved not only in infrastructure projects in each ASEAN state, but also in cross-regional development programs.
The Japanese government and private sector have also been actively building quality infrastructure.#23 Japan will continue to give full play to the strengths, technology, experience, and knowledge of Japanese companies—including key infrastructure that boasts of excellent life-cycle cost, environment-friendly infrastructure, and adherence to construction and delivery schedules through meticulous project management—while addressing the needs of the ASEAN region appropriately in its active effort to build infrastructure カジノシークレット 出金 時間hese countries to serve as the foundation of connectivity. It will also contribute to the enhancement and implementation of security operations to protect ASEAN infrastructure from outside threats.
At the same time, Japanese companies will work with the government to support efforts to realign and diversify logistics routes and build a digitized trade platform カジノシークレット 出金 時間he ASEAN region.#24
(b) Improving Institutional Infrastructure
Promoting a free trade and investment regime
The establishment of a free trade and investment system also forms the basis of efficient business activities. ASEAN has made steady efforts to create an environment conducive for trade and investment both within and outside the region. It established the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) to liberalize trade in goods inside the region. It is hoped that the free trade and investment regime in ASEAN will deepen further カジノシークレット 出金 時間he future under the ASEAN Economic Community Blueprint 2025 (AEC 2025)#25 of カジノシークレット 出金 時間SEAN Community Vision 2025.#26
カジノシークレット 出金 時間erms of forging relations beyond the region, in addition to concluding the ASEAN+1 FTAs, ASEAN has served as the driving force in enhancing the regional competition environment and in international rulemaking by playing a central role recently カジノシークレット 出金 時間he Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) process, from the start of negotiations to the signing of the agreement in November 2020.#27
The Japanese business sector hopes that all RCEP member states will undertake the ratification and effectuation procedures for this agreement as soon as possible. After the RCEP takes effect, it intends to continue to work with the governments and relevant organizations of Japan and カジノシークレット 出金 時間SEAN states to actively apply this agreement in efforts to create a free and open market and realize an international economic order.#28Instituting legal systems for the realization of a transparent and predictable business environment
Creating a transparent and predictable business environment is important for ASEAN to attract more foreign private investments カジノシークレット 出金 時間he region. This will involve instituting various legal systems and systems related to public-private partnerships (PPP) for bringing in more private capital in infrastructure construction, as well as upgrading the administrative functions required to enforce these systems. While Japan has long cooperated with the ASEAN states in enhancing various legal systems, it will need to persist in such efforts. In addition, proper management of sensitive technologies is indispensable for expanding international corporate activities while maintaining security. Japan also needs to cooperate actively in such institutional efforts.
(c) Fortifying Global Supply Chains
At present, many Japanese manufacturing industries are building their production facilities カジノシークレット 出金 時間he ASEAN region, which is a key hub of their global supply chains. There are also a growing number of companies moving into industrial parks that are equipped with logistics, utilities, and communication facilities, and other hard infrastructure necessary for production activities, as well as soft infrastructure カジノシークレット 出金 時間he form of various support services by management companies.
Natural disasters カジノシークレット 出金 時間he past have demonstrated the vulnerability of global supply chains. The current COVID pandemic the world is experiencing has given us an opportunity to rethink the structure of such global supply chains. Ensuring their resilience has become an even more critical issue. Japanese companies will make the most of the quality infrastructure and institutional infrastructure available in ASEAN to fortify the region as a key link カジノシークレット 出金 時間heir global supply chains.
(2) Realization of Sustainable Growth
(a) Responding to Climate Change Issues
International cooperation is essential for responding to global issues such as climate change. At present, steady efforts are being made toward achieving the final goal of realizing a carbon-free society under the Paris Agreement, the international framework on climate change.#29 Japanese companies are taking proactive action to address climate change issues.#30 It is hoped that they will propagate energy, environmental, and digital technologies—such as カジノシークレット 出金 時間he areas of energy conservation, renewable energy, nuclear power, hydrogen, energy storage, and CCUS#31—and various advanced technologies that may contribute to decarbonization カジノシークレット 出金 時間he ASEAN countries in a manner compatible with local conditions.#32 It is also important to support such endeavors with sustainable financing.#33
The Japanese government and private sector will hold active dialogue with カジノシークレット 出金 時間SEAN countries and cooperate with them in working for the realization of a carbon-neutral world, including measures to be taken during the transition period.
(b) Building a Society with Low Ecological Footprint
Positive action to tackle environmental issues, including the prevention of soil and water pollution and conservation of forests, has become more important in order to maintain sustainable growth カジノシークレット 出金 時間he region. Marine plastic waste, in particular, is becoming an increasingly serious problem in ASEAN that needs to be resolved.#34 The Japanese government and companies possess excellent technology and knowhow in garbage collection, waste disposal, and recycling systems. They are also knowledgeable about fostering garbage sorting consciousness. They will cooperate with the governments of カジノシークレット 出金 時間SEAN countries to tackle this issue.
(c) Working on Disaster Prevention and Reduction
Japan has experience with numerous natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunami, typhoon and flooding from torrential rains. It has not only deployed in society various technologies developed through collaboration between industry, government, and academia, but has also broadly instilled a high disaster prevention consciousness among the population, fostered through steady educational efforts. With natural disasters becoming increasingly devastating in recent years due to climate change and other factors, it is necessary to introduce disaster prevention and reduction technology and mentality in society at an early date and build society on this premise.
This is important even from the standpoint of fortifying the manufacturing industries' supply chains. For example, based on its experience and lessons learned from past disasters, Japan has accumulated broad-ranging knowledge and experience both カジノシークレット 出金 時間he hard aspect—such as sophisticated flood control technology and earthquake-proofing and seismic isolation for buildings, including public infrastructure—and the soft aspect—such as disaster prevention-oriented urban planning, alert and evacuation advisory systems during disasters, business continuity planning in preparation for disasters, and logistics for assisting disaster victims—as well as financing, insurance, and other financial services to support speedy reconstruction. Japanese companies will take the lead in sharing these assets with the ASEAN countries facing similar risks of natural disasters#35 to bring about changes カジノシークレット 出金 時間he people's consciousness and behavior toward sustainable growth. They will work with the ASEAN states toward building a safe and secure society that is resilient to disasters.
(d) Promoting Cooperation in Medical and Healthcare Services
Japan is one of the first countries カジノシークレット 出金 時間he world to become a super-aging society. It is beneficial to share its experience and knowledge with certain ASEAN countries that may become aging societies カジノシークレット 出金 時間he future. In addition to promoting more aggressive training of medical and nursing care personnel, building IT-based healthcare and medical service infrastructure using life course data, AI, telemedicine, and so forth is an area expected to be in even greater demand from now on. Japan and ASEAN will need to cooperate in such efforts. In addition, promoting the establishment of water treatment, waste disposal, and recycling systems to improve basic public health conditions is also necessary.
In light of the manifestation of supply chain risks カジノシークレット 出金 時間he medical sector with the spread of the COVID pandemic, it is necessary to accelerate efforts to improve supply chains of medicine, medical equipment, hygiene products, and related goods, cold chains for food and vaccines, and international distribution systems, under the cooperation between the governments and private sectors of Japan and ASEAN.
(3) Using Digital Technology to Open Up New Growth Areas and Realize Society 5.0
The global spread of the COVID pandemic reminds all of us of the importance and potentials of digital technology. Therefore, there is great room for partnership and collaboration between Japan and カジノシークレット 出金 時間SEAN states, which have both set a goal of economic development and resolution of social issues through the deployment of digital technology in society.
In particular, ASEAN is more advanced than Japan カジノシークレット 出金 時間he digitization of social economic activities, such as e-commerce and ride-hailing applications. Ambitious young people with exceptional business sense who are digital technology-savvy are also starting new businesses, including in fintech one after another. For sure, regions differ in social problems needing solution and services required. In order to tap the vitality both inside and outside ASEAN, it is important for Japanese companies to address these needs by taking the initiative to collaborate with the thriving ASEAN startups and work with them カジノシークレット 出金 時間he process of opening up and expanding global markets.
カジノシークレット 出金 時間his connection, in recent years, while Japanese companies have made efforts to provide and utilize products, technologies, and services カジノシークレット 出金 時間he ASEAN countries, there have also been cases in which ASEAN countries have introduced in society products, technologies, and services equipped with advanced technology ahead of Japan. Sharing the success stories through these collaboration and management and maintenance knowhow therefrom will enable Japan and the ASEAN states to roll out more products and services in both their markets and カジノシークレット 出金 時間hird countries.
Japanese companies will also actively participate in promoting the use of digital technology in such areas as smart cities that offer solutions to environmental and energy issues and other urban problems; contactless solutions for the "with Covid-19" and "post Covid-19" eras based on biometric authentication technology; and smart agriculture for high labor efficiency and productivity.
Furthermore, there is an urgent need to build key telecommunication networks using 5G that ensures highly reliable transmission of massive data, submarine cables, and so forth. In addition, with advances in digitization in society, it is increasingly important to ensure cybersecurity. It is now necessary to embed security features from the planning and design stages of products when building social infrastructure.
Legislation of laws on cybersecurity, data protection, and other relevant matters カジノシークレット 出金 時間he ASEAN countries is indispensable for secure and safe international commercial transactions. It is also important to work together in making international rules on data use (Data Free Flow with Trust, or DFFT),#36 taking into account compatibility with the protection of personal information.#37 We hope for positive initiatives from カジノシークレット 出金 時間SEAN states. We also ask the Japanese government to cooperate with and provide positive support to カジノシークレット 出金 時間SEAN countries in addressing new issues brought about by digitization, such as capacity building through joint cyber exercises and training of experts.#38
(4) Development of Human Resources
Japanese companies have long been deeply involved with the development of human resources, which form the foundation of the ASEAN countries' growth, as a priority concern. The regional headquarters, branch offices, production bases, marketing and service hubs, and other outfits of Japanese companies doing business カジノシークレット 出金 時間he ASEAN countries serve as one of the main players in Japan-ASEAN personnel exchanges and human resources training. Some companies even set up and operate training centers to improve the production techniques and other occupational skills of the local people. There are also ongoing personnel exchange initiatives to send local employees for training or temporary assignments at the main office in Japan, with the aim of grooming these employees as future managers. Such corporate activities also contribute to nurturing talents needed for ASEAN's autonomous economic growth. It is indeed the people that are at the heart of solutions to new social problems. Japanese companies will persevere カジノシークレット 出金 時間heir efforts to nurture talents for the ASEAN countries' growth カジノシークレット 出金 時間he next generation.
There has also been a steady increase カジノシークレット 出金 時間he number of students from the ASEAN countries coming to study in Japan. Bonds developed as students often become the starting point for building sustained relationships カジノシークレット 出金 時間he future. It is necessary to further expand student exchange programs for the younger generation in Japan and ASEAN.
(5) Promotion of Personal Exchanges
Japan and カジノシークレット 出金 時間SEAN countries must continue to engage in active exchanges at all levels, including cooperation between companies, governments and relevant agencies, local governments, and educational institutions.#39 Japan and ASEAN will also be celebrating the 50th anniversary of their relationship of friendship and cooperation in 2023. We should make this an opportunity to further strengthen Japan-ASEAN cooperation.#40
カジノシークレット 出金 時間erms of tourism, which provides a great opportunity to develop interest in other countries, there has been a steady increase カジノシークレット 出金 時間he number of ASEAN visitors in recent years#41 and a lively two-way exchange of visits. Although this has been affected by the COVID pandemic, the presence of ASEAN tourists enjoying their stay in various parts of Japan has become a part of daily life. ASEAN countries are also major destinations for Japanese tourists. People from both sides have developed an interest in each other's cities, historical sites, rich nature, ethnic groups, religion, traditional and pop culture, food and cuisine, and so forth. It is important to persist in efforts to enhance active personal exchanges, including the exploration and utilization of new tourism resources.
5. Conclusion — Deepening the Heart-to-Heart Relationship
The bonds between the people of Japan and カジノシークレット 出金 時間SEAN countries fostered by our precursors over the years, that is, our heart-to-heart relationship, will remain an asset that forms the basis for partnership and cooperation under the "with Covid" and "post Covid" new normal. We, the present generation, and young people with a bright future before them must continue to engage in dialogue and exchanges at all levels in order to further deepen this relationship.
Keidanren has sent missions to カジノシークレット 出金 時間SEAN countries and held joint conferences and other meetings to engage in policy dialogue with the governments and economic organizations of these countries.#42 Keidanren is currently providing assistance to talents for the next generation through cooperation カジノシークレット 出金 時間he establishment of universities, the creation and administration of scholarships, and other programs. Keidanren will continue to engage in such activities.#43
We are confident that ASEAN will continue to play a central role カジノシークレット 出金 時間he economic development of Asia and the world カジノシークレット 出金 時間he new era. In order to facilitate cooperation and co-creation between Japan and ASEAN to generate new values, we would like to actively hold policy dialogues with the governments and relevant organizations of ASEAN and Japan toward the realization of this proposal#44 and move forward in our joint endeavor to achieve a sustainable society.
