Yet you may wonder why it is that Japan has such a strong interest in Central Asia. I would like to present to you four major reasons for this.The first of these is that, if you liken this to a chain, you can realize that if a single link is weak, it doesn't matter if the rest of the chain is sturdily constructed. It is the strength-or, more accurately, the weakness-of that single link that determines the strength of the entire chain, and this is essentially how Japan perceives this issue.Japan is a country whose own prosperity depends on the stability and peace that exists around the globe as a whole. To bring us back to the metaphor of the chain, Japan has national interests in raising the degree of strength of the chain as a whole, even should the means be indirect. We cannot simply feign ignorance or indifference when we know that a weak link exists.In that regard, in once again focusing on Central Asia and the surrounding region, we are cognizant of the instability found in the area stretching from the interior of Eurasia and Southwest Asia to the Middle East and Africa. The ethnic composition is extremely complex. The conflict of religions, and of sects and denominations within religions, that is present under the surface can be considered similar to volcanic magma, having the potential to erupt at any time. If that is the case, then naturally we hope to assist in adding a safety valve, in order to give some of the pressure from this magma a means of being safely shunted away.Japan would like to improve access to transport for both goods and people, and in so doing enable the people of Central Asia to have a broader view of the world while making possible the envisioning of various long-range development prospects.The countries of Central Asia have historically had a large number of secular Muslims. However, in recent years we have repeatedly been made aware of Islamic extremism permeating into the area from the south and the west.In the battle to prevent terrorism, which uproots world order and stability, there is simply no way around the task of patiently going about strengthening weakest links.The second reason why Japan pursues an active interest in this region is that Central Asia boasts a wealth of underground resources, centered on the area surrounding the Caspian Sea.The production volume of crude oil in the region represents just over 2% of the world total. And, when a pipeline or other means of transporting the output is put into place in the future, production volume is forecast to double. Two percent of global production is equivalent to approximately 1.6 to 1.7 million barrels a day. If you consider the area surrounding the Caspian Sea including Azerbaijan, the production volume comes to some 2.0 million barrels a day. This is a volume equal to 30 to 40% of the amount of crude oil imported to Japan daily-hardly an amount that can be dismissed lightly. Furthermore, the region's annual production volume of natural gas of some 130 billion cubic meters is the equivalent of 1.6 times Japan's annual volume of imports.Japan is not currently importing petroleum or natural gas directly from this region. However, petroleum and natural gas are international commodities, and there exists, fundamentally, a single market for each of these on the planet. The market has become integrated, with regional differentials among areas of production having been overcome.In other words, the stability of Central Asia as a source of supply is essential to stability of the global market as a whole. Furthermore, insofar as Central Asian production would serve as a buffer should issues arise in the Middle East or within OPEC, it would simply be unacceptable for Japan not to take an interest in the situation of Central Asia.What is more, gold is found in practically every country of Central Asia. Uzbekistan is the country with the greatest gold resources in the region, with a ranking of 9th in the world in production volume. Next comes Kyrgyzstan, ranked 17th. Japan is one of the world's major importers of gold bullion, importing some 80 tons annually as of 2004. You might want to keep in the back of your mind the fact that 6.7% of that-that is, just over five tons of it-came from Uzbekistan.The third key point underlying our Central Asia policy is the fact that Central Asia and Japan have an affinity for each other, I would say.If we look back over 19th and 20th century history, it is clear that the countries of Central Asia have the quite compelling view that they do not want to be pushed around by other countries any longer.And, as I am always quick to point out, Japan's postwar reconstruction model has been one that can be summed up as "Peace and Happiness through Economic Prosperity and Democracy."Even just in light of my own limited experience from what I have seen in Uzbekistan and elsewhere, I can say that the countries of Central Asia have strong interest in knowing how exactly this has become possible for Japan. There are many people who want to learn something from the experiences of Japan if possible. In other words, we already have a foundation for expanding our cooperation.The fourth key point is that it is becoming modestly well-known around the world that Japan is seeking to have a more proactive relationship with Central Asia.In the discussions that Japan holds with major countries it has already become somewhat a matter of course to address the topic of Central Asia. The Japanese side sometimes even encourages the other country in the discussion to become more interested in and involved with Central Asia. A new atmosphere is emerging, in which it is simply impossible to ignore Japan when you discuss Central Asia. I believe that such an atmosphere is conducive to enhancing both the breadth and the depth of Japan's diplomatic efforts

In Japanese cuisine, sushi is vinegared rice, usually topped with other ingredients including fish (cooked or uncooked) and vegetables. In Japan, sliced raw fish alone is called sashimi and is distinct from sushi, as sashimi is the raw fish component, not the rice component. The common ingredient across all the different kinds of sushi is sushi rice (known as shari in Japanese). The variety in sushi arises from the different fillings and toppings, condiments, and the way these ingredients are put together. The same ingredients may be assembled in a traditional or a contemporary way, creating a very different final result.
