知情人士周日透露，日本首相高市早苗计划在马尼拉即将举行的地区峰会上，提议创建一个亚洲版的国际能源署（IEA）。
Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi plans to propose at an upcoming regional summit in Manila the creation of an Asian version of the International Energy Agency (IEA), informed sources said Sunday.
通过这一设想中的框架，日本旨在加强亚洲的能源供应链。在中东持续动荡之后，该供应链的脆弱性已经暴露出来，而该框架将呼吁在应对能源危机时开展石油储备合作。
Through the envisioned framework, which would call for cooperation in oil stockpiling in preparation for energy crises, Japan aims to strengthen Asia’s energy supply chains, whose vulnerability has been exposed in the wake of the ongoing Middle East turmoil.
知情人士称，高市早苗将在周二举行的亚洲零排放共同体（AZEC）11国峰会上提出这一计划。亚洲零排放共同体是一个旨在实现碳中和的地区合作框架。
Takaichi will present the plan at a summit Tuesday of the 11-member Asia Zero Emission Community (AZEC), a regional cooperation framework for realizing carbon neutrality, the sources said.
*日本将在建立亚洲版国际能源署的过程中发挥作用，而总部位于雅加达、负责调查和研究该地区能源安全问题的东盟与东亚经济研究中心（ERIA）将担任新框架的秘书处。
Japan will play a role in establishing the Asian version of the IEA while the Jakarta-based Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia, or ERIA, which investigates and researches energy security issues in the region, will serve as the secretariat for the new framework.
通过与总部设在巴黎的国际能源署即将在东京设立的新基地合作，这个新的地区框架将帮助成员国共享石油储备方面的专业知识，并在发生紧急情况时制定释放和共享石油储备的规则。
Working with the Paris-based IEA’s new base to be set up in Tokyo, the new regional framework will help member nations share expertise on oil stockpiling and make rules on the release and sharing of oil reserves in the event of an emergency.
国际能源署成立于1974年第一次石油危机之后，要求成员国储备相当于90天消费量的石油。
The IEA, established in 1974, after the first oil crisis, requires member countries to stockpile oil equivalent to 90 days of consumption.
为应对中东紧张局势，国际能源署成员国在今年3月及之后进行了大规模的联合释放石油储备。但没有东盟成员国参与这一协同倡议。
In response to the Middle East tensions, IEA member countries jointly released oil reserves on a large scale in and after March this year. But no ASEAN member nations participated in the concerted initiative.
今年4月，日本宣布启动“亚洲广泛能源与资源韧性伙伴关系”（简称Powerr Asia）。日本对东盟国家供应的手术手套等石油基产品有所依赖，该伙伴关系旨在帮助该地区的供应链变得具有韧性。
In April, Japan, which relies on ASEAN countries for the supply of oil-based products such as surgical gloves, announced the launch of the Partnership on Wide Energy and Resources Resilience Asia, or Powerr Asia, which is designed to help make the region’s supply chains resilient.
此外，在AZEC峰会上，高市早苗预计还将提议使用日本闲置的石油储罐。具体而言，日本将考虑合作支持由菲律宾主导的倡议，为东南亚开发联合石油储备系统，并建立一个允许该地区国家在紧急情况下优先购买石油的机制。
Elsewhere at the AZEC summit, Takaichi is expected to propose the use of idled oil storage tanks in Japan. Specifically, Japan will consider cooperating for a Philippines-led initiative to develop a joint oil reserve system for Southeast Asia and establishing a mechanism allowing nations in the region to buy oil on a priority base in the event of an emergency.
除日本和菲律宾外，AZEC的其他成员国还包括澳大利亚、文莱、柬埔寨、印度尼西亚、老挝、马来西亚、新加坡、泰国和越南。
The AZEC members other than Japan and the Philippines are Australia, Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
