We are looking at the bigger picture, we are looking at the regional order\u2014how to maintain the rules-based order, how to maintain peace and prosperity and security for all in the region.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Deterrence is necessary to uphold that order when it\u2019s challenged by emerging powers like China undertaking unilateral attempts to change the status quo.<\/p>\n<p>It was expected that China would abide by the rules of the World Trade Organization and not engage in a campaign of economic coercion against Australia, for example, as well as accept the rulings of the UN tribunal that in 2016 rejected China\u2019s claims on the South China Sea.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018So it\u2019s fair to say many observers are so disappointed and we have to ask were our expectations satisfied? If not, how can we achieve it?<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We would like to welcome them into the rules-based order, but at the same time if rules are not observed then we have to resort to deterrence in order to maintain prosperity and stability. That\u2019s the route we have to take from now on.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>He said both Australia and Japan needed to put their best efforts into maintaining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait not only to support a fellow democracy of almost the same population as Australia but also to safeguard an economy that is a key part of global supply chains, and a vital one when it comes to semiconductors.<\/p>\n<p>On Australia\u2013Japan security ties, Yamagami said he was looking to the \u2018near future\u2019 for the conclusion of long-running negotiations on the reciprocal access agreement that would allow much closer cooperation between Australian and Japanese forces.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018This will constitute a game-changer,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018There will be an institutionalisation of a framework so that we can conduct more frequent joint exercises and drills both in Australia and in Japan.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Despite the growing focus on the security aspects of the relationship, there is also substantial growth on the economic front.<\/p>\n<p>Yamagami pointed out that for the 40 years from 1968 to 2008, Japan was Australia\u2019s largest trading partner and that hydrogen, infrastructure development and space cooperation are likely to take economic ties to new levels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Japan\u2019s ambassador in Canberra has indicated his country will provide assistance to Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States to ensure the AUKUS agreement is a successful one.
