Japan is a country fortunate enough to be seen
without particular prejudices by the various countries
and factions around the (Middle East) region

Instead, what we often hear is that people hold Japan
in a positive light as a rare example of a non-Western
European country that has successfully modernized
while maintaining its own traditions.

“Zen-like Paradoxes of Counterinsurgency”

 Sometimes……
  - the more you protect your force,
             the less secure you may be
  - the more force is used,
              the less effective it is
  - doing nothing is the best way
  - some of the best weapons
       for counterinsurgents do not shoot

  Gen. Petraeus pointed out to GCC Officials

                           IISS Manama Dialogue at Bahrain
Missile Defense                  December 14th 2008

Maritime Security Operation
Intelligence Cooperation
Critical Infra. Protection
Training and Exercise
NATO Initiatives (ICI)


Launched in June 2004
Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and UAE joined
Menu
1 Border security            7 Small arms proliferation
2 Terrorism                  8 Crisis management
3 Defense reform             9 Military-military contact
4 WMD proliferation          10 Peace support operations
5 Civil emergency planning   11 Military exercise and training
6 Conceptual planning        12 Military education
Expert of GCC military balance says

The GCC threat to the GCC
 - Poor mission focus
 - Lack of integration
 - Lack of balanced force development
     in manpower quality              Anthony H. Cordesman
                                              CSIS
 - Problems in jointness and exercise

Leaders must take defense seriously
End Feuding (inside GCC)
End prestige buy and Focus on mission needs
Basic Principles
   Japan as a favorable image nation
   Cooperate with US and NATO (keep a low profile)
   Promote security “modernization” and “liberalization”



  Contribute to the stability of the region
  Cultivate mutual understanding with GCC countries
  Strength the alliance with US and
                     the relations with NATO
Initial step
To know each other well
Better to increase GCC countries side visit to Japan
More purpose oriented briefing about JSDF

                   for examples….




Missile Defense         Exercise        Measures against Piracy
                                           (Future Option)
Next step
* In GCC countries                   * In Japan

 - Security related briefing         - Observing JSDF exercise
     at GCC military school          - Officers to JSDF school
 - Conference on security


             With pacific Partners    GSDF Exercise




At Cairo
Further step (1/2)
 for the coordination among GCC
                                                 Aug. 2008
                                      Youth who lost relatives in conflict
Japanese Diplomatic Attempts
        in Middle East Peace Process

- Invite both Israelis and Palestinians
 - Joint trip exploring different culture of Japan
 - Discuss issues with full peace of mind
 - Quarrels, disputes, sharing of feeling and some
change…..
 - For civil servants, students, youth leaders, and journalists

 “Meeting in Japan,
    we would not be branded with any particular
label”
Further step (2/2)
 for the coordination among GCC
 How about this ?

   First, for young officers of GCC countries

   Then, for senior officers of GCC countries
Basic Principles
   Japan as a favorable image nation
   Cooperate with US and NATO (keep a low profile)
   Promote security “modernization” and “liberalization”



  Contribute to the stability of the region
  Cultivate mutual understanding with GCC countries
  Strength the alliance with US and
                     the relations with NATO
For comprehensive peace in the Middle East,
what is necessary is the mental "groundwork" that
will make such peace possible …………

………There is no doubt in my mind that
there are certain types of
diplomacy that Japan is uniquely able to undertake.


                                   Prime Minister Taro Aso
                                   (UN General Assembly)
