4■　Our participation in producing the world largest ecological city “Tianjin Eco-City” and a joint development study between the Singapore government as its general director.

Since 2009, we have been engaged in producing the core projects in the world largest ecological city “Tianjin Eco-City.”
We obtained approvals from key persons of the Singapore and Japanese governments to promote our proposal to develop a sister project in Japan which has a structure to develop an interactive business model. We are conducting a feasibility study with the CEO and other executives of the Tianjin Eco-City organizer by mutually visiting Tokyo and Tianjin.

We negotiated with Minister Mah Bow Tan of National Development of Singapore who directed the Tianjin Eco-City for his cooperation with the “Eco-City + Automobile-related New Industries Special Zone” among the “Four Special Zones” proposed by the non-partisan Rehabilitation Group to rehabilitate the affected area of the Great East Japan Earthquake.
As of October 2011, we are discussing the plan as a national project taking an opportunity of receiving a Singapore Mission to Japan comprising investment institutions headed by Minister Mah.
※　The Tianjin Eco-City is developed by the Singapore government mobilizing investors from the world upon signing an FTA agreement with the Chinese government (Prime Minister Wen Jiabao).

5■　Producing Economic Special Zones and Ecological City Developments upon request from foreign governments and local governments

The rehabilitation policy and action that we deployed after the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake were intended to rehabilitate Kobe by inviting funds for practical structure and activities (below) in the context of changing dynamism in Asia driven by the 1st WTO conference and the return of Hong Kong to China. (First Opportunity to Open Japan’s Doors)

For the rehabilitation of the Great East Japan Earthquake,　“A strategic structure is required to introduce changing dynamism of Asia accelerated by TPP and other international frameworks for the affected area and Japan, and we are taking concrete action for it.” (Second Opportunity to Open Japan’s Doors)

Although the scale is much larger, social conditions and environment for rehabilitation after the East Japan Earthquake closely resembles those after the Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake.
Believing that the strategy and action we deployed after the Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake will be applied to the rehabilitation of the affected area of the East Japan Earthquake, we are taking actions.
We believe that “Opening Japan with the strategy to seek national interest will lead rehabilitation efforts in real terms.”

On the very day of the Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake on January 17, 1995, we had an appointment to meet Mayor Sasayama of Kobe followed by a meeting with Governor Kaibara of Hyogo prefecture to propose the introduction of Economic Special Zones in Hyogo prefecture. Immediately after the earthquake, we proposed this initiative, and Governor Kaibara accepted this, and announced it to the press a few days later.

Our proposal to introduce Economic Special Zones intended to catch the trend of liberalizing investments, port operations and communication services at the 1st WTO ministerial conference in Singapore in 1996, and the dispersal of assets of Hong Kong at the time of its return to China in 1997.

It included:
1. Establish a strategic structure between Economic Special Zones in Suzhou, Wuxi and Shanghai into which investments from the world were introduced promoted by the Singapore government and Kobe Port and its hinterland in order to invite investors to Japan.
A few ministers of Singapore and British-supported companies in Hong Kong supported the proposal and gave us letters of their offers.

And,
2. Transfer 4 million TEUs of transit resources from Hong Kong to Kobe Port, a major trading port in Japan, as a means to transfer their assets outside Hong Kong..
We negotiated with Hutchison Whampoa and PSA, the world first and second port operators, and received their offer to transfer their resources.US Trade Representative Charlene Barshefsky also agreed to their transfer as a condition to lift US sanctions on Japanese ships entering US ports. (Suzuki negotiated with her on the capacity of an independent producer.)

For 1, Chairman Shimokobe of the Rehabilitation Committee initiated the “Kobe-Shanghai and Yangtze Basin Economic Exchange Project” upon our proposal. Unfortunately, the Japanese government did not approve the introduction of Economic Special Zones in the affected area, and as a result, industrial rehabilitation was not realized.

For 2, the Kobe city office did not accept the large investments from abroad that we had prepared for the reason of excluding overseas port operators. (The city rejected the reform of bad restrictions and practices in cargo handling at ports and its hinterlands.)

The above facts after the Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake show that our proposals and activities will not “help the rehabilitation of the disaster area without opening the country.”

Rehabilitation from the Great East Japan Earthquake is closely related to the economic revitalization of Japan as a whole. Therefore, we need stronger strategies and activities than the case of the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake.
We consider it necessary for Japan to have a national strategy with a structure to open the country, to participate in TPP and other international frameworks and to ensure trading conditions to be in the national interest. At the same time, funds for rehabilitation (domestic investment, energy, human resources including entrepreneurs, knowledge resources, etc.) should be obtained.

Proposals by the “Economic Hub Development” meetings from 2008, and the non-partisan “Rehabilitation” meetings in 2011 mean the　“the national strategy by stipulating the growth strategy of Japan as a Basic Act” as well as the “revitalization plan for Japan with a concrete structure and actions.”

These proposals are promoted by our continuous negotiations with foreign governments, government-linked corporations and investment institutions which lead the growth of Asia, reporting of the negotiations to MPs participating in the meetings (2011) (2008-2010), and putting the contents into actual governmental policies by participating MPs.
