Securing the safety of sea lanes in the Asia-Pacific region is certainly important for the regional economy and regional security, but sea lanes do not end in one single region.The major sea lanes, which are the lifeline of Japan, extend far beyond the regional seas, into the Indian Ocean, Oceania-South Pacific, and East Pacific regions.The need to ensure the safety of broad sea lanes is not likely to diminish in the future, but will grow.At the same time, various factors that obstruct sea lane safety are becoming more evident everywhere in the region and in the world.In this sense, it is important to ensure that the world can benefit from 'managed maritime freedom' under known rules built by consensus among relevant countries.This is easy to understand, but difficult to realise.Because sea lanes connect one region to another through oceans, it is urgently necessary to build a consensus among broader regional beneficiary countries Proceedings to seek common benefits and to cooperate to ensure sea lane safety.Among major sea lanes adjacent to Japan, those in the Oceania, South Pacific, and East Pacific regions are relatively stable, with no significant threats.In those regions, the US maintains overwhelming influence from bases in Hawaii, Guam, and the west coast of the US.The presence of other major sea power allies, such as Australia and Canada, also ensures the stability of these sea lanes.If there is any potential threat in these regions, it may be China's aggressive military advancement toward the Pacific Ocean as it continues its rise as a major world power.China's activities will require continued attention.In this sense, the alliance among major Pacific sea powers (Japan, Australia, and Canada), with the world's largest and strongest sea power, the US, at the centre will be significant in securing the safety of sea lanes in the pan-Pacific region.The alliance with Australia will be especially significant, as it maintains strong relationships with Asian nations, including Japan, not only in the area of sea lane security but also in the overall area of regional security.Considering the recent international economic and security situation, Australia is one of the most important allies in the 'expanded Asia,' extending from south to north. The Japanese approach to an East Asian Community and Japan-Australia partnership
