Abstract: Japanese strategies for East Asian Economic Community are discussed focused on ASEAN+3 and ASEAN+3+3. High-risk high-return in ASEAN+3 and low-risk low-return in ASEAN+3+3 might be compared alternatives. Benefits of Japan depend on benefits of ASEAN, because FDI to ASEAN from Japan is large. For Japan, extending bilateral FTA net is a basic requirement and promoting WTO liberalization is an eternal target, and regional FTA in between, especially East Asian Economic Community, is a present issue for international economic policy.
