○Theme: “The Way forward for the ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific (AOIP) – Partnership between Japan and ASEAN to Promote an Inclusive AOIP”

Abstract:

In the midst of the ongoing strategic competition between the United States and China, Japan proposed the Free and Open Indo-Pacific (FOIP) Initiative in 2016, believing that the Indo-Pacific should become a stage for international cooperation and collaboration rather than an arena for geopolitical confrontation and tension. ASEAN announced the AOIP in 2019, and the United States, Australia, India, and European countries made public their own Indo-Pacific concept.

Given the current situations, there is a need to rebuild strategic equilibrium and a system of international coordination and cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region in the future, while respecting the centrality and unity of ASEAN and promoting the materialization of inclusive AOIP cooperation projects involving more ASEAN dialogue partners.

This webinar will focus on the principles and norms, the content of cooperation, and the implementation mechanism of the Indo-Pacific Initiative and will aim to discuss a concrete path toward the materialization of AOIP cooperation.
