Half a century has passed since then, and the politics, economics, and societies of Japan and ASEAN countries have dramatically changed. Furthermore, the international and regional circumstances surrounding them are also significantly transforming. They are facing new challenges, such as the escalation of great power rivalry between the United States and China, the rise of protectionism and economic statecraft, the retreat of democracy, the middle-income trap, widening economic and social disparity, aging societies, growing environmental problems, and so on. How can these challenges be overcome through the new partnership between ASEAN and Japan? What should be specifically considered and implemented? With these issues in mind, four specialists exchanged their views at a roundtable discussion held at the International House of Japan on May 2, 2023.

The new National Security Strategy officially positioned the FOIP as a fundamental component of Japan’s security strategy. Furthermore, the Kishida Cabinet has presented the New Plan as the first comprehensive outline of the specific policies that Japan will pursue under the initiative. The New Plan contains “four pillars of cooperation” with a total of 51 policies. Despite the expanded scope of security policies, the Kishida Cabinet emphasizes the diplomatic nature of the initiative, highlighting various agendas for cooperation in the region. This article illustrates how Prime Minister Kishida silently maintains and refines the strategic nature of the initiative with the New Plan in response to the growing presence and influence of China in the Indo-Pacific region. Notes1 The Abe, Suga, and Kishida administrations have collectively referred to Japan’s strategy for the Indo-Pacific region as the “Free and Open Indo-Pacific” strategy, the “Free and Open Indo-Pacific” initiative, and the “Free and Open Indo-Pacific,” as well as simply the “FOIP.” In this article, the series of strategies will be referred to as the “Free and Open Indo-Pacific” initiative. However, when the Prime Minister uses a specific term such as “strategy” in his speeches or summit meetings, the article uses that term.2 Teruaki Aizawa, “Gaimusho HP kara Yomitoku ‘Jiyu de Hirakareta Indo-Taiheiyo Senryaku (FOIP)’ no Rinen to Jissen [The Philosophy and Practice of the ‘Free and Open Indo-Pacific Strategy (FOIP)’ decoded from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Website],” the Ocean Policy Research Institute, the Sasakawa Peace Foundation, July 30, 2018, https://www.spf.org/oceans/global-data/20181116181023949.pdf (English); Teruaki Aizawa, “Sonogo no ‘Jiyu de Hirakareta Indo-Taiheiyo Senryaku (FOIP)’ no Hensen to Tenkai [Subsequent Changes and Developments of the Free and Open Indo-Pacific Strategy (FOIP)],” the Ocean Policy Research Institute, the Sasakawa Peace Foundation, June 15, 2019, https://www.spf.org/oceans/analysis_ja02/post_20190621-copy.html; Saori Katada, “Indo-Taiheiyo Koso to Dochiiki no Keizai Renkei [The Indo-Pacific Initiative and Economic Partnerships in the Region],” Kokusai Mondai [International Affairs], vol. 687 (December 2019), 25-36, https://www2.jiia.or.jp/kokusaimondai_archive/2010/2019-12_004.pdf?noprint; Kei Koga, “Japan’s ‘Indo-Pacific’ question: countering China or shaping a new regional order” International Affairs vol.96, no. 1 (January 2020): 49-73, Kei Koga, “Japan’s ‘Free and Open Indo-Pacific’ Strategy: Tokyo’s Tactical Hedging and the Implications for ASEAN,’ Contemporary Southeast Asia, vol. 41, no. 2 (August 2019):286-313; Narushige Michishita, “Japan’s Grand Strategy for a Free and Open Indo","PeriodicalId":43120,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Review","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135010898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They would definitely welcome Japan’s explanation, accept the change, and consider constructive ways to engage with Japan.
