2024年开年以来，日本在外交领域动作频频，展现出强化对外战略、拓展国际影响力的明显意图。首先，日本首相岸田文雄年初即访问中东多国，包括沙特、阿联酋和约旦，旨在加强能源合作与地区安全对话，同时推动日本在中东的经济存在。其次，日本加速推进与北约及“印太”伙伴的协作，1月与英国签署《互惠准入协定》（RAA），深化防务合作，并计划年内与德国、法国等欧洲国家签署类似协议。此外，日本还高调参与美日韩三边机制，强化对朝威慑与技术出口管制协调，呼应美国“印太战略”。在经济外交方面，日本积极推动CPTPP扩容，争取英国正式加入，并试图拉拢更多亚太国家加入该框架，以抗衡中国在区域经贸中的影响力。这些密集外交举措反映出日本在中美战略竞争加剧背景下，试图通过“价值观外交”和“安全+经济”双轨策略，提升自身在全球秩序中的角色定位，但其过度倚美遏华的倾向也可能引发地区紧张。
Since the beginning of 2024, Japan has engaged in a flurry of diplomatic activities, clearly aiming to strengthen its foreign strategy and expand its global influence. Prime Minister Fumio Kishida kicked off the year with a visit to multiple Middle Eastern countries—including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Jordan—to enhance energy cooperation, regional security dialogue, and Japan’s economic footprint in the region. Simultaneously, Japan has accelerated defense collaboration with NATO and Indo-Pacific partners: in January, it signed a Reciprocal Access Agreement (RAA) with the UK and plans to conclude similar deals with Germany and France this year. Japan has also actively participated in the trilateral U.S.-Japan-South Korea framework, reinforcing deterrence against North Korea and coordinating export controls on sensitive technologies, aligning closely with U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy. Economically, Tokyo is pushing for the expansion of the CPTPP, welcoming the UK’s formal accession and seeking to attract more Asia-Pacific nations into the pact as a counterbalance to China’s growing regional economic clout. These密集 diplomatic moves reflect Japan’s attempt—amid intensifying U.S.-China strategic competition—to elevate its global role through a dual-track approach combining ‘values-based diplomacy’ with integrated security and economic strategies. However, its overt alignment with the U.S. to contain China may risk escalating regional tensions.
