Japan-US-Australia Trilateral Cooperation in the Indo-Pacific: Defense, Economic Security, and Values

As the risk of a crisis over Taiwan is loudly voiced today, the tripartite relationship between Japan, the United States, and Australia is gaining increasing importance in the evolving security landscape of the Indo-Pacific. This relationship is expanding its collaboration in various fields such as diplomacy, security, economics, and values. With a view to further deepening this relationship, the University of Tokyo's Advanced Mizui Research in Rule Formation Strategy and Economic Security Program will host a panel discussion featuring experts from Japan, the U.S., and Australia.

To realize a "Free and Open Indo-Pacific," the panel will examine not only military cooperation but also address economic intimidation, diversification of critical supply chains, and collaboration in advanced science and technology as economic security issues. Furthermore, the panel will also discuss challenges related to the ideological conflict between democracy and authoritarianism, as well as tackling disinformation and influence operations on the soft-power front. The analysis will consider how the three countries should utilize multilateral frameworks like QUAD, AUKUS, BDN, PBP, G7, and IPEF to address these challenges.

Liz Truss氏招待講演「日英関係の将来とインド太平洋における経済安全保障」

Liz Truss, Invited Speaker, "The Future of Anglo-Japanese Relations and Economic Security in the Indo-Pacific

On Saturday, February 18, 2023, the Economic Security Research Program (ESRP) at the Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology, The University of Tokyo hosted a special lecture by Her Excellency Liz Truss, the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, at the Ito International Research Center's Ito Hall.

She served as the Secretary of State for Environment under the David Cameron administration, as the Secretary of State for Justice under the Theresa May administration and held positions as the Secretary of State for International Trade, the Foreign Secretary, and the Minister for Women and Equalities under the Boris Johnson administration. Subsequently, she served as the 78th Prime Minister of the UK. She swiftly finalized the Anglo-Japanese EPA after Brexit and made adjustments for the UK to join the CPTPP (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership) as the Secretary of State for International Trade. When she was the Foreign Secretary, she proposed the UK’s economic security policy as “The return of geopolitics” in the Mansion House Speech, which is held in the official residence of the Mayor of London, with invited financial sector professionals, thereby leading the discussion on economic security, a topic that has recently garnered attention.

After a welcome speech by Professor Masakazu Sugiyama, the Director of RCAST, she delivered her keynote speech. She provided insights into the future of Anglo-Japanese relations, the potential for cooperation in the Indo-Pacific in the realm of economic security and advocated for the establishment of an organization similar to NATO, but with a primary focus on the economy.

Following her keynote, she engaged in a discussion with Professor Akira Igata, Project Lecturer of RCAST and Director of the ESRP, and responded to questions from the audience. The discussion covered a wide range of topics, including the desired capabilities of national intelligence, details of the organization she proposed, and the possibility of her serving as Prime Minister again.

Our program is deeply committed to cutting-edge policy research in the field of economic security. We aim to find solutions that harmonize the rapidly evolving realms of science and technology with the dynamic world of international politics. Both aspects are essential in our pursuit of a better society. During the discussion, a comprehensive dialogue unfolded, covering both general and specific topics related to economic security.

Moving forward, our program will continue to facilitate discussions with visionary societies through similar events centered on economic security.
