Myanmar’s first presidency ASEAN Summit ends
The chairman’s statement of the ASEAN Summit held on the 11th in Naypyidaw, the capital of Myanmar, was released on the 12th.
It seems that it was a problem in the South China Sea, and although it avoided naming, it was a move to greatly restrain China.
It is also a major factor that member countries such as Malaysia, which remained neutral in the South China Sea issue, have announced their support for Vietnam.
There was also an article to the effect that China will maintain its tough stance as usual, flickering economic cooperation, and skillfully utilizing the internal temperature differences of ASEAN countries to attempt division work.
The South China Sea issue is also a “serious concern,” but aside from that, I think Myanmar’s first presidency of the ASEAN Summit is of great significance.
Although there are various problems in Myanmar, the fact that he was the chair of the ASEAN Summit can be interpreted as being recognized by each country as an important member of ASEAN.
I think this has great significance, and I think it can be interpreted that a big frontier has been opened in terms of further promotion of democratization, strengthening of economic power, attraction of foreign capital, etc., in a symbolic sense.
I understand that expanding into Myanmar is not as easy as it sounds, but I think the outlook is very bright when there are movements that seem to be a tailwind.
There will be various difficulties in entering the market, but Japan’s national policy is to make Myanmar’s net foreign investment the largest in the world in 2015, and we would like to do our best.
