Summit to discuss climate change, how to respond to natural disasters, marine safety and security issues.
Japanese public opinion is generally agreed that the convening of this summit is to counterbalance China. Japan’s “Sankei Shimbun”, Foreign Affairs of Japan and Pacific island countries, consistent with the preparedness of the Chinese military threat to U.S. security strategy is of great significance.
For the participants in the United States, China Institute of International Studies Yancy rain researcher analysis pointed out that the United States to attend the summit with Japan and then the rise of strategic Any action in Japan, especially the strategic initiatives could not escape the shadow of the United States. United States participate in the island summit with Japan in the strategic medium-and long-term strategic coordination to enhance the impact of the US-Japan alliance in the South Pacific island nation. 23, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Defense Secretary Panetta, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Deng Puxi “Troika” to attend the Senate hearing, behind the United States to join the Convention on the Law of the Sea, hoping to persuade lawmakers to ratify the Convention.

Maintain good access to the sea on the one hand diplomatic means, to create a favorable international environment; the other hand, China needs to develop national strategy for maritime security.

Japanese media: Japanese island summit to compete powerless

Japan Xinhua Press Network 28 published, commented, “Japan and the Pacific Islands Forum Summit held in Japan on the 26th, the summit exposed Japan’s fragile. Japan and the United States, Australia has a set of mechanisms and systems of cooperation, with the summit’s forces of the Union Pacific island widening influence. The summit is essentially exposed in response to the rise of China, Japan, is powerless.

article excerpts are as follows:

invited by the Government of Japan of Japan and the Pacific Islands Forum Summit held on May 26 held in Japan’s Okinawa Prefecture, Nago City, it is noteworthy is held by the Japan devoting himself to the main purpose of the summit turned out to be, “How to stop China ‘s maritime expansion’”. So openly and explicitly to contain China’s multi-national meeting, in the past is extremely rare.

face of the interests of the United States and Australia, the two big countries to send representatives to attend to the feet of Japan. Obvious is that the protagonist is a Japan and Pacific island countries, the United States and Australia just to Zhuangzhuang momentum. Japan to act as the summit to “take the lead in the Big Brother” great pains, bleeding, Noda, the Japanese government in the next three years will come up with $ 500 million in ODA financial assistance to attend the meeting, Prime Minister of Japan in the Pacific island.

suffering from the pain of a sluggish economy, fiscal revenues shrink in fear of Japan in terms of really is a pain to bleeding. To show the great importance and attention of the summit, Noda each participating island met, including the small country of more than 1,000 people. The purpose is very clear, the Japanese have done is to make the island as far as possible standing in Japan.

In fact, Japan is the ass, the summit but has exposed Japan’s fragile. Japan and the United States, Australia has a set of co-operation mechanisms and systems With this summit, Japan’s forces of the Union Pacific island widening influence. Explicitly written in the Conference Declaration, “respect for freedom of navigation”, directed at the South China Sea.

Japan issue of sovereignty in the South China Sea into the summit, but these efforts are in vain. The Japanese Foreign Ministry officials expressed concern, said: “can no longer assume that the Pacific island countries will certainly support Japan’s reform of the United Nations.” Japan is willing to give money to the Pacific island of course, very willing to accept, but to expect them to play to contain China, Japan’s role Japan can only be wishful thinking.

Pacific island countries, the greatest significance is the ability to Japan at the United Nations cast a vote, in addition, Japan has no practical significance. Both are difficult to help Japan, economic strength, military strength, I am afraid what to do. The most important thing is that the Pacific island countries and there is no conflict of interest, on the contrary, they are the beneficiaries of China’s rise.

the summit is essentially exposed to the Japanese in response to the rise of China is powerless. Through this summit, Japan, in addition to pay, contribute, do not fly a declaration, and not much actual harvest were revealed, it touches on the diplomatic front helpless and fragile side.
