Seaport cooperation plays an indispensable role in strengthening industrial and trade ties between Japan and other countries in the world,ensuring their energy security and promoting interna-tional production capacity cooperation.After World War Ⅱ,Japan participated in seaport investment and construction in Southeast Asia through compensation projects and government development assis-tance.In recent years,Japan has integrated seaport cooperation into the geopolitical strategy of the"In-do-Pacific Strategy"through the"High-quality Infrastructure Partnership"to cope with China's"Belt and Road Initiative".Japan's specific strategies in seaport cooperation in Southeast Asia mainly include macro-level top-level design and summit diplomacy,meso-level financial support and government-private cooperation as well as micro-level investment construction and management operations.From the perspective of effectiveness,Japan has effectively helped its own enterprises improve their industrial chain in Southeast Asia while driving the infrastructure and regional economic development of the host country through ports and promoted the relevant technical standards of Japan's port and shipping indus-try in Southeast Asia.
