Japanese Technology & Experience

VISION: Maritime Economic Corridor Japan-ASEAN Cooperation on “RoRo” Ship

； Vessel designed for wheeled cargo such as cars, trucks, or trailers to drive on and off by their own wheels.

Efficient and speedy loading and unloading.

Expensive handling equipment such as gantry cranes is NOT required on port side.

Special structure and design in shipbuilding and suitable ports are required.

Improvement of Logistics Development of Industries Growth of Economy

Improving Institutional Connectivity

ASEAN’ s own Vision

JICA has made final report of the F/S raising important issues left unsolved. (Mar, 2013)

- The institutional issues raised are cross-sectoral, thus need comprehensive approach within ASEAN to solve them to realize RoRo network.

Restrictions on cross-boarder smooth flow of chassis transported by RoRo ships

Cooperation for Disaster Management : AHA Center

- ASEAN Coordinating Centre for Humanitarian Assistance on Disaster Management (AHA Centre) serves as the regional hub for disaster monitoring and analysis, preparedness, response, and technical and scientific cooperation.

- Japan has been supporting its operationalization as well as its capacity building through Japan-ASEAN integration Fund (JAIF)

① ICT support for AHA Centre (Phase 1) ② ICT support for AHA Centre (Phase 2) ③ Establishment of a Disaster Emergency Logistic System for ASEAN ④ Capacity building

“Connectivity Master Plan Plus” mentioned in the Declaration on ASEAN Connectivity (6th East Asia Summit in Nov, 2011)

The importance of expanding Connectivity beyond ASEAN and the support for implementation of MPAC as contributing towards greater connectivity were stated,

and ACCC with the support of ASEC and ERIA is expected to discuss and implement these initiatives. (2nd EAS Foreign M.M. in July, 2012)

Toward “ASEAN Connectivity Plus”

10

ASEAN Connectivity: Multilayered Approach

1. ASEAN+1 (Japan, China, Korea, India, EU) • Consultations with ACCC

2. ASEAN+3 • Leaders’ Statement on ASEAN+3 Partnership on Connectivity

3. EAS • EAS Declaration on ASEAN Connectivity • Australia’s proposal on establishing an EAS Connectivity Forum • Trade and Economic Partnership: RCEP

4. APEC

11

Connectivity Enhancement through Multilayered Frameworks

(Basic Idea) Synergize existing efforts and initiatives among different players through

multilayered frameworks by sharing information, ensuring visibility of works among relevant players and avoiding duplications.

(Utility of Different Frameworks) 1. Physical Connectivity ASEAN, +1, APT Expanded Connectivity: EAS? North-South: China - ASEAN - Australia? East-West: India - ASEAN - Pacific nations? 2. Institutional Connectivity ASEAN, +1, ASEAN+6, EAS? 3. People to People Connectivity ASEAN, +1, APT Capacity Building in Asia Center of Excellences in Asia ASEAN Identity, New Asian Culture? 4. Resilient Connectivity Disaster management: +1, APT, ARF, EAS? Financial Stability: APT

(Some Suggestions)

1) Assessment of MPAC

2) Assessment of cooperative

relations with partners

3) Deliberations on the best

or better framework(s) of

cooperation
