Appendix B
Five Principles of Japan's ASEAN Diplomacy

Given changes to the strategic environment in the Asia-Pacific region and
ASEAN's economic growth, ASEAN's presence and role in the region have
been enhanced. It is therefore important that Japan further strengthen cooperation
with ASEAN member states, not only on economic issues, but also other areas,
such as security and political affairs.

As part of this endeavor, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe visited Southeast Asia as his
first trip abroad, which marks a kick-off the 40th Year of ASEAN-Japan
Friendship and Cooperation. During his trip, Prime Minister Abe outlined the
following "Five Principles" of Japan's ASEAN Diplomacy on January 18,
2013:
1. Protect and promote together with ASEAN member states universal values, such
as freedom, democracy and basic human rights;
2. Ensure in cooperation with ASEAN member states that the free and open seas,
which are the most vital common asset, are governed by laws and rules and not
by force, and to welcome the United States' rebalancing to the Asia-Pacific region;
3. Further promote trade and investment, including flows of goods, money, people
and services, through various economic partnership networks, for Japan's
economic revitalization and prosperity of both Japan and ASEAN member states;
4. Protect and nurture Asia's diverse cultural heritages and traditions;
5. Promote exchanges among the young generations to further foster mutual
understanding.
