For all its prosperity, Japan is largely dependent on its salient environment for its survival. Heavy reliance on oil and resource imports, and trade and overseas markets necessitate a stable and secure milieu to ensure continued economic growth. In the early 1970s, Tokyo carne up with the Comprehensive National Security Strategy after recognizing the need to boost relations with its regional neighbours, particularly in Southeast Asia. The strategy is generally aimed at helping those countries' economic, political and social development by extending assistance to promote cultural, educational, technical and other exchanges. From the beneficiaries' point of view, however, the programme has been criticized for solely advancing Japanese interests. Despite recent efforts to expand the volume of exchanges and increase the level of financial support for the programme, much is left to be desired. The development of this exchange programme becomes especially significant in creating a stable environment conducive to JapanASEAN co-operation.
