🌍 Japan’s Africa Strategy: A New Trade Axis Emerges | India, Middle East, and the Indo-Pacific Explained
In a world where global power dynamics are rapidly shifting, Japan is stepping up with a bold new vision that could reshape global trade routes — and Africa is at the center of it.
In this video, we break down Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba’s Indian Ocean–Africa Economic Zone initiative, unveiled at the Economic Partnership in Indian Ocean–Africa Forum, held alongside TICAD in Japan. This strategy connects Africa with India and the Middle East, forming a new economic corridor aimed at securing resources, trade routes, and regional influence — all under the Free and Open Indo-Pacific (FOIP) doctrine.
▶️ Topics Covered:
– Why Africa is becoming the new center of global competition
– Japan’s “offer-type” development aid vs traditional ODA and China’s Belt and Road
– The strategic importance of the Nacala Corridor and Mombasa Port
– How Tokyo plans to secure critical minerals like copper and cobalt
– Africa’s growing push for local production and industrialization
– The geopolitical context: Japan vs. China, U.S., Europe, and Middle Eastern players
With Africa’s population expected to reach 2.5 billion by 2050 and the world racing for rare minerals and new markets, this corridor could reshape trade, development, and diplomacy across the Indian Ocean region.

Japanese women love African guys.
Africa should rely exclusively on Africa. Africa doesn’t need anyone else other than Africans.
I check in maybe once a year with Lenas channel and for good reason.
It's no secret that Japan is a US colony and works towards US interests.
Are you just parroting MSNBC and Fox here?
Japan never cared about Africa why now? I doubt if there is any acceptance of Japan in Africa.
RIP Japan's high trust society.
The World was kicked in it's teeth by the americans and they now are wondering about what's happening!
Why.. there's no energy to move forward… the world is shutting down…only the elites are still greedy
Ishiba is a globalist puppet
Globalists own Japan
Safe and effective de pop agenda ☠️💉 globalist's footprint
Global debt .. tyranny
Japan had many opportunities to work with Africa but chose to ignore the continent. Countries in Africa will most likely agree to work with Japan at this time. However they will do so with suspicion because of the Japans ties with the west.
The Indo-Pacific Co-Prosperity Sphere and Africa Co-Prosperity Sphere, now with U.S. blessing.
Do business with US and the West you will get rich, do business with China you will be in a debt trap, look at Sri Lanka and Cambodia to open your eyes.
Japan has promised all.its money to Trump 😂. People in Asia remember how "fairly" Japan treated its neighbors. That was all about resources. This sounds like Japan trying for force its will on other countries.
一旦アフリカへ資金を出してそれを中国が吸い取るという流れです。
There’s no doubt in my mind NEX is going to explode this cycle.
NEX is showing early signs of whale accumulation.
NEX is what early adoption looks like.
AI is the future of crypto, and NEX is one of the leaders.
Real utility, real roadmap, real potential. That’s NEX.
AI-powered tools plus tokenized incentives — NEX is a no-brainer.
Copy China? I think it’s an in-achievable mission.
We are all know how successful this venture is going to be because Japanese are highly adaptable to other cultures and not racist. This is going to work out so well the Japanese will be speaking Swahili,etc instead of African speaking Japanese. Also the employees of those Japanese companies will fit in so well in Africa . 🤣🤣😂😹😝😜
Is this a ccp propaganda channel?
日本人です。
参議院選挙で、自民党は国民に2万円給付すると公約に掲げました。
しかし、選挙の結果自民党は大敗。
民意は給付を求めていないとし、給付を取り止めました。
一方、ビルゲイツには810億の融資を行いました。
国民にはお金を使わない、石破茂。
民意は、自民党はダメだ。という審判を下しましたが、総理の座に居座っています。。。
こんなことが許されていいのでしょうか。
これではただの独裁者です。
そう思いませんか？？？？😂😂
Wouldn't be surprised if America was pulling the strings behind Japan?
Japan is too late as BRICS have the most viable economies already sewn up. Japan's best bet is to join BRICS.
？🇯🇵government🔨🤮
残念ですが、日本人は歓迎していないです。具体的な戦略が出てきていないので、悪い面ばかりが日本では盛り上がっています。そもそも、日本からアフリカは遠い国のため情報も少なく、好意的な印象を持っていません。それだけに政治家が、具体的な戦略を説明しない陰り、悪い情報ばから先行し、受け入れられことはないでしょうね。
