Open dialogue with the US and Russia
The relationship that the two governments share is very close and it will continue to
nourish as time advances. Australian and the Japanese governments cooperate through strong
levels of dialogue and partnership. Through their meetings, both Japan and Australia have been
able to maintain close relationships with other countries such as the US and Russia (Croucher,
2018). The ideas that they share goes a long way in making sure that there is peace and stability
in the international relations from the applications of the rule-based plan that upholds
international order (Jin et al. 2015). At times the two faces some challenges in the
implementation of these strategies. The reasons why these problems arise is, because of
interference from the western allies who undermine them hence posing a challenge for them.
Opening up of the dialogues opens up for the two governments to engage more and resolve the
historical differences and enhance growth. The best thing that brings the two together is through
the shared values which include the regional and geopolitical goodwill (Saito 2018). Australia
and Japan are middle powers in the world whose values revolve diplomacy among nations. The
two governments are struggling to retain their status quo in their primary foundational goals
which is to keep good relations between the neighboring countries and other countries friendly to
their course. For example, the Australian government forming allies with the great and close
friends such as the USA and hence benefiting from the coalition (Saito 2018).
Deregulation of competition policy
The parties will have a joint and sponsored benchmarking research that will cover the
strategies and how it affects the competition policy between the two states. The Japanese
government and the Australian government will collaboratively share their programs to bring the
two together and reduce the competition that used to exist between them (Croucher 2018).

Deregulation of the policies of competition will help them focus on sustainability in all the
sectors of development. Over the past years, Australia and Japan have been doing business in
their geopolitical sphere controlling most of the markets’ dynamics. Deregulation of the
competition in the market helps the two parties to have a cordial relationship business would
improve. It is in the interest of both the Australian government and the Japanese government to
achieve a market that is lesser-faire allowing products to move freely. Aiding the governments to
achieve these free markets could definitely help the two parties to continue benefiting from each
other.
Nuclear Energy peaceful policy
For the two governments to recognize the importance in the growing use of nuclear
energy, and the importance of maintaining the safety of the nuclear, both will have to cooperate
with one another (Brockhoff et al. 2017). Both will have to utilize the nuclear for the benefits of
the citizens of both countries peacefully, and this will involve a discussion by the Nuclear
Policymakers. They will have to support one another in the research, training and developments
during the time of nuclear energy issues to provide a sustainable environment where the use of
nuclear is useful and clean. Finally, both countries must ensure a steady supply that is safe and
effective for the International Atomic Energy Agency and makes sure they comply with the rules
(Saito 2018). Political orientation requires a lot of trusts both for the two countries and hence
intensifying the democratic relationships boosts the relationships and therefore continued
corporation.
