2014年，日本政府进一步坐实首相安倍晋三提出的对东南亚政策，采取整体推进与重点突破相结合的策略。一方面全面加强与东盟各国在经济、防务和文化领域的合作；另一方面，政治上以越南为突破，构筑广泛战略伙伴关系，经济上以缅甸为重点，重视缅甸战略地位。日本打着“围堵中国”的旗号，在深化与东南亚各国政治、经济关系的同时，全力拉拢东南亚各国，意图合力制衡中国。
In the year of 2014，the Abe administration continue to implement the policy actively in Southeast Asia，adopting the overall strategy and attempting to gain breakthrough in key areas. Japan strengthens the comprehensive cooperation with ASEAN countries in economy，defense and culture，constructing a broad-ranging strategic partnership with Vietnam as the breakthrough in political aspect and attaching high importance to Burma on the economic front. Under the banner of “containing China” Japan deepened the political and economic relationship with ASEAN countries，with the aim of gaining their support for counterbalancing China.
