ミクロネシアの人々のための日米協力強化（提言）
１. 日米両国のインド太平洋へのコミットメントを高く評価します。特に米国の西太平洋地域への回帰は地域の安全保障上、日米にとっても重要です。
２. ミクロネシア連邦のヤップ島で殺害された米国人法律家を心から哀悼します。彼女が示してくれた事を日米両国は真剣に受け止めるべきでです。島嶼国の福祉、教育、法執行は守られていません。そこに中国投資が入る隙を与えています。冷戦時代の自由連合協定の概念では限度があります。
３. 日本と地理、歴史、経済的に近い西太平洋地域の安寧を米国と共に守る時です。まずは日米の平和部隊、協力隊派遣を現在より数倍増やす事が重要です。そして日米台による海洋監視も緊急課題です。
４. 日本は米国が締結する自由連合協定に準ずる協定を当該地域と締結し教育、福祉、インフラの向上と人材の交流を促進し、地域の安定に貢献すべきです。それがひいては日米の国家安全保障につながると信じます。

Enhance Japan-USA cooperation for the people of Micronesia
Prime Minster of Japan HE Shinzo Abe and the President of the United States of America HE Donald Trump
1. We highly appreciate the strong commitments by both Abe administration of Japan and Trump administration of the United States of America on Indo-Pacific region. Especially the return of U.S.A. to the Western Pacific region is important for both countries, let alone for the security of the region.
2. We deeply grieve and would like to express our heartfelt sympathy to the American lawyer who was murdered in Yap Island in the Federated States of Micronesia. Both Japan and U.S.A. should seriously consider what she has been suggesting. The welfare, education and law enforcement are quite loose in the Pacific island nations, where China have already been taking advantage of such situation. The Compact of Free Association (COFA) concept from the Cold War era can no longer prevent the uncontrolled situation.
3. Japan is geographically, historically and economically close to the region. It’s high time Japan to secure the peace of Western Pacific region together with U.S.A. who share the same interest. To begin with, the number of Peace Corps and Cooperation Agency needs to be increased several times from the current dispatch. And the ocean surveillance by Japan, U.S.A. and Taiwan cooperated is highly recommended.
4. We strongly suggest Japan to hold the agreement with the region conforming to COFA led by U.S.A., contributing to the region’s security by nourishing education, welfare, infrastructure and personnel exchange. That would eventually strengthen the national security of both nations.
