Extract

The surge toward Asian regional cooperation is important for the Asian policy of all nations because it is indigenous and it is effective. In a very real sense this cooperation is effective because it involves bricks and mortar as well as ideas and spirit. Additional strength is injected by Japan's substantial support of regional cooperation in Southeast Asia as a new force in Asia.
