3-day "for the fourth session of the African Development" 28 was opened in Yokohama, Japan. At the same meeting, Japan announced that it would increase economic aid to Africa. It is generally believed that the Japanese government would like to take this machine in the meeting urged African countries to help their "regular income" on such issues as a breakthrough in the desire to be difficult to achieve. From 52 African countries represented at the meeting, including the leaders of 40 African countries. In addition, a number of African regional organizations and international organizations were also represented at the meeting. The current session to deal with issues including the food crisis in African countries to promote economic growth and poverty eradication. Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda at the opening ceremony that the next five years, the Government of Japan will be infrastructure, agricultural production, prevention of infectious diseases and scientific and technical cooperation in areas such as the expansion of aid to Africa and set up a special fund to promote Japanese business investment in Africa. In addition, Japan will provide African countries is equivalent to 4,000,000,000 U.S. dollars of long-term low-interest yen in 2012 before Japan's official development assistance to Africa to double the amount. Analysts believe that the reason why the Japanese Government at this meeting on the generous side for Africa hand, in order to gain a permanent seat, access to resources in Africa and other issues receive the support of African countries. However, it would be difficult for Japan to achieve the objectives on schedule. First of all, Japan's diplomacy is the largest long-cherished wish is to become a permanent member of UN Security Council. Secretary Yasuo Fukuda, Japanese Prime Minister in October 2007 policy speech, also made it clear that in order to become a permanent member of the ruling party for the goal. Africa and the United Nations and Member States to focus on the continent. As a result, Japan would like to take machines made Conference of African countries, as "regular income" to pave the way. Fukuda will also be attending a meeting of all the African Heads of State and lobbying. However, due to problems related to the reform of the United Nations, the African countries at this meeting can not make any specific commitments. Second, Japan's domestic economic development needs of a large number of oil and precision instrument manufacturing industry also needs a large number of precious metals, and Africa's rich oil resources and precious metals. As a result, the Japanese government tried this meeting in Africa to expand its influence in order to compete for the African region rich in resources. However, since the start of the 21st century, as oil and precious metals prices, a number of resource-rich African country's financial situation improved greatly on foreign aid keen to decline. This has led some African heads of state attended the meeting on the apparent lack of enthusiasm, several had already agreed to attend the leaders of African countries are also at the last minute changed his mind. Third, African countries for Japan's assistance to the true purpose of their doubts and worries. Japan's non-diplomacy has been playing the "assistance card" in the early 1990s, Japan was once Africa's largest donors. However, with their "bubble economy" burst, the Japanese Government to cut the aid, a large number of Japanese companies have also pulled out of Africa, this time in many African countries by surprise, its economic development had a negative impact. In addition, the Japanese government aid in many cases with political conditions attached, so that many African countries is difficult to accept. (Zhu Manjun)
