Japan is committed to the operationalisation of ACPHEED and will continue to support ASEAN’s efforts in strengthening its capabilities to prepare for, support, detect and respond to public health emergencies and emerging diseases in the region.

Health is one of the sectors covered by 130 cooperation items of the Implementation Plan of the Joint Vision Statement on ASEAN-Japan Friendship and Cooperation. Japan is committed to working together with ASEAN as Trusted Partners to implement measures to realise the Joint Vision Statement and further strengthen cooperation.
