JAPAN AND ASEAN PLAN JOINT STRATEGY ON AUTO PRODUCTION




Japan and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) plan to create their first joint strategy on automobile production and sales within the Southeast Asian bloc to counter China's increasing presence in the electric vehicle market. The aim is to draw up an interim joint strategy through around 2035 when the economic ministers of Japan and ASEAN members meet as early as next September.

The joint strategy is expected to entail cooperation in personnel training, decarbonization in production, mineral resource procurement, and investment in next-generation fields such as biofuels. Japan intends to tap the 140 billion yen ($899.51 million) that its Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry secured in the budget for assistance to the Global South, for personnel training.
