STORYLINE:
Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba reiterated the importance of maintaining rule of law amid the ongoing civil war in Myanmar and territorial tensions in the South China Sea, as he spoke at a regional meeting on Thursday.
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit in Laos marks Ishiba’s first overseas debut as Japan’s new Prime Minister.
Ishiba said his administration is committed to further develop Japan’s relationship with ASEAN, South Korea and China as he spoke during a summit meeting with Chinese Premier Li Qiang and South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol.
“The total GDP of Japan, China, Korea and ASEAN exceeds 25% of the world’s total, and ASEAN Plus Three cooperation has great potential,” he stressed.
Japan reaffirmed its support for the ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific and its principles such as openness, transparency, and respect for international law which are important in times of increasing uncertainty.
The 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations’ summit follows recent violent confrontations at sea between China and ASEAN members Philippines and Vietnam, that sparked growing unease over China’s increasingly assertive actions in the disputed waters.
ASEAN members and China have been negotiating a code of conduct to govern behaviour in the sea for years, but progress has been slow.
