ABSTRACT

Japan is working with the United States on a free-open India-Pacific plan. China is also waging a power struggle in the region, with the new Silk Road economic bloc, the One Road One Belt initiative. ASEAN is pursuing its own strategy for the sake of its position while seeking an integrated strategy. ASEAN has developed balanced diplomacy between the US and China as a whole, and the two countries' hegemony competition and trade disputes are strengthening their strategies for survival. As an important element of this strategy for establishing regional order, this article focuses on three aspects that Japan has pursued in the name of FOIPS: the creation of stable and multilateral balance of forces, the promotion of connectivity between regional resilience and development, and the establishment of rules and norms. In addition, after discussing these issues, the article identifies the role of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in Japan's FOIPS. Furthermore, the article will conclude, predicting that cooperation with Japan and ASEAN will play a key role in cooperation, prosperity and peaceful stability in the region as a regional order-building strategy to avoid the emergence of a new Cold War in the region.
