H.E Le Luong Minh,
Secretary-General of ASEAN and H.E. Shindo Yoshitaka, Minister for
Internal Affairs and Communications of Japan discussed on the current
and future activities of ASEAN-Japan cooperation in Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) and disaster management communication and
Japan’s support for the implementation of ASEAN ICT Masterplan 2015
(AIM2015) yesterday at the ASEAN Secretariat.
SG Minh informed Minister Shindo that
ASEAN shared the same view with Japan that the growth of ICT was mainly
driven by users’ need. Therefore, the role of telecommunication
providers was to ensure the availability of high capacity infrastructure
and quality services while the role of the government was to regulate
the supply and demand in assuring an equal and affordable access and
safety for the public and fair competition amongst providers.
Minister Shindo shared Japan’s
experience on the utilization of ICT for communication in disaster
management. He highlighted the importance to have a standardized
protocol of network in the distribution of computing information of
early warning to the population for wider areas. He further stressed on
the urgency to inform the evacuation scheme to the affected population
by introducing the protocol of evacuation, and the need to filter the
initial information on the early warning system prior to its transfer to
the affected population. Minister Shindo expressed Japan’s willingness
and readiness to provide support to ASEAN and to strengthen ASEAN-Japan
cooperation in this area.
While appreciating Japan’s support in
the provision and setting up of ASEAN’s current ICT Disaster Management
System, SG Minh expressed the interest of ASEAN to learn more from
Japan’s experiences in the design and implementation of ICT systems in
Telemedicine Practices in remote areas and Energy Consumption Monitoring
for environmental improvement.
SG Minh thanked Japan for the continued
cooperation with and support to ASEAN on information security. In this
regard, SG Minh and Minister Shindo shared high confidence that the
upcoming ASEAN-Japan Ministerial Policy Meeting on Cyber Security
Cooperation, to be held in September 2013 in Japan, will yield important
outcomes to further enhance ASEAN-Japan Cyber Security Cooperation in,
among others: (1) strengthening the support for the less secured
countries to improve their system of cyber security; (2) promoting
collaboration in proactive response against cyber-attacks; (3)
strengthening security awareness raising initiatives; (4) providing
training programs for cyber security; (5) Promoting information
exchanges between cyber-security researchers; and (6) Sharing best
practices for protecting personal data and children online.
