At the same time, Japan consolidated and promoted tradeeconomy relationship with the GMS countries with the goal of turning those countries into resource providers and wide salers of Japanese goods. The purpose of this study is to analyze the trade relationship between Japan and Mekong Subregion countries from 1945 to the early 1990s, which contributed to the clarification of the change in Japan’s policies on foreign relations towards this subregion within the international and regional contexts.
