North American Leaders Summit: Declaration of North America signed

What Happened?
On 09 January, the 10th North American Leaders Summit (NALS) began in Mexico City with US, Canada, and Mexico leaders in attendance. The two-day summit began with an inaugural session followed by bilateral meetings between the American and Mexican Presidents. 
On 10 January, a trilateral meeting between the two Presidents and the Canadian Prime Minister was held to discuss issues relating to migration, supply chains, climate change and drug trafficking. They signed the Declaration of North America (DNA). The DNA outlines six pillars that will fortify the region’s security, prosperity, sustainability and inclusiveness. The six pillars are diversity, equity, and inclusion, climate change and the environment, competitiveness, migration and development, health and regional security.

What is the background?
First, the supply chain crisis. During the pandemic, there was a supply chain crisis due to lockdown and decreasing production. This heavily impacted manducating sector in North America and US and Canadian companies whose manufacturing is based in other countries. Due to this, there was an overall loss in revenue, and the American markets became less attractive. This crisis led to many countries introducing protectionary policies making non-indigenously produced goods less competitive. Canada and Mexico have been critical of the US’s protectionary policies and have also logged disputes under the USMCA trade agreement. 

Second, the focus on migration, drugs and trafficking. Migration loomed large due to the recent US policy to tackle illegal migration through the US-Mexico border. With Title 42 now being extended to three other communities, there will be increasing pressure on Mexico to accept expelled migrants. The US will also see a surge in illegal migrants crossing the border as entering the country legally will become more difficult. Drugs are arms the next big issue. Mexico has seen an increasing number of weapons from the US which is being used by gangs and cartels present in the country. Canada and the US also see a rise in fentanyl-related deaths and seizures done by authorities. This fentanyl is largely smuggled into the country by Mexican cartels.

What does it mean?
First, more protectionist policies. With an emphasis on reducing dependency on Asia and strengthening regional supply chains, the three countries will introduce more protectionist policies. More policies, such as the US Inflation Reduction act, will be passed where North America-produced goods will be given more subsidies and preference by the government. This will lead to North American goods having an advantage over non-North American produced goods in the US, Mexico, and China markets. 

Second, increasing investments in Central and Southern America. Obrador outlined the need for investments in Central and South America to reduce the flow of illegal migrants. These investments will not only help to develop and improve the lives of the people in the region. It will also help the states set up migration centres to regulate the flow of migration and avoid illegal migration preferred by traffickers. 

Third, US-Mexico issues overshadowed the summit. Migration and regional security issues which largely dominate US-Mexico relations, spilt over into the summit. Before the summit, recent US-Mexico relations vis-a-vi Title 42, migration and fentanyl trafficking dominated the news. This overshadowed any bilateral issues put forth by Canada, such as Mexico’s energy bill, which was not discussed in the trilateral summit.   

Japan and the US: 2+2 dialogue 

What happened?
On 11 January, a US-Japan Security Consultative Committee was held in Washington; the US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and the Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin engaged in a 2+2 Ministerial Dialogue with the Japanese Minister for Foreign Affairs Hayashi Yoshimasa, and the Defense Minister Yasukazu Hamada. During the meeting, the parties acknowledged China's growing influence in the East China Sea and further expressed their concern over China challenging the status quo. Committed towards a ‘free and open’ Indo-Pacific, the US appreciated Japan’s decision to strengthen its defense capabilities, further emphasizing modernizing their alliance to “bolster deterrence and address evolving regional and global security challenges.”  Anthony Blinken confirmed the US’s position on defending Japan with its “full range of capabilities, including nuclear.” He further spoke about transforming the 12th Marine Regiment in Okinawa into a Marine Littoral Regiment by 2025. Japan, too agreed to deploy US MQ-9 Reaper from its Kanoya Air Base, situated in South Japan.

What is the background?
First, a brief note on the 2+2 dialogues. Security issues take the forefront in a 2+2 ministerial dialogue. US and Japan first conducted their ‘2+2’ dialogue in 2018. The then-acting US Secretary of Defence, Patrick Shanahan described the ‘2+2’ dialogues as testaments toward the commitment of ‘Free and Open Indo-Pacific’ (FOIP). 

Second, China’s response to the 2+2 dialogues. . In the first edition of the ‘2+2’ ministerial dialogue between the US and India in 2018, the Chinese foreign ministry spokesman said he was pleased over the bilateral relations between India and US. He further hoped that the relationship would promote peace and security in the region. However, China’s stance towards the dialogues changed over time. The countries which have participated in a dialogue of this format are India, the US, Japan, Australia, and Russia. Four of them are members of QUAD, which is largely taken as an ‘anti-China’ alliance. The previous edition of the 2+2 dialogue was conducted between India-Japan amidst increasing Chinese interference within the East China Sea and had little to no effect on changing China’s course of action.

Third, the North Korea factor. There have been a series of missile tests by North Korea during the recent perios. North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un had announced for an exponential increase in the country’s nuclear capabilities threatening Japan’s security. 

What does it mean?
First, increasing military exercises among the US and its allies. The militarization in the East China Sea is likely to continue. With US and Japan strengthening their defense capabilities within the region, the same could be witnessed from China and North Korea. 

Second, from a Japanese perspective, the ‘2+2’ dialogue has strengthened Japan’s strategic foothold within East Asia.  However, the dialogue has made Japan another threat to China, further inviting Chinese aggression upon itself.

Global Economic Prospects 2023: Four takeaways
On 10 January, the World Bank (WB) released the ‘Global Economic Prospects; January 2023’, discussing short-term (two years) and long-term (five years) economic prospects across the world and analytical pieces on prospects of investments after the pandemic faced across the globe. The WB President said: “Weakness in growth and business investment will compound the already devastating reversals in education, health, poverty and infrastructure and the increasing demands from climate change”. 
The global growth rate further reduced to 1.7 per cent from 3 per cent in the June 2022 edition of global economic prospects. World Bank has also called for changing its lending capacity to address climate change and other emerging global crises in underdeveloped economies. The new strategy is called an ‘evolutionary road map’. 

The report highlights the upcoming recession and it is not so global characteristics. South Asia, for example, because of its huge population and place in periphery, will be shielded from the fallouts of recession expected in advanced economies of Europe. 

Four takeaways
First, global growth remains timid. Impacted by supply chain disruptions, headline inflation and lack of confidence due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine will put the US, Euro area and China under a period of pronounced weakness. The slowest five-year pace in global growth since the 1960s was estimated in the report. The combination of slow growth, tightening financial conditions, and heavy indebtedness will likely weaken investment and trigger corporate defaults.

Second, regional outliers remain bright spots in the short term. The growth rate in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDE) will remain six per cent below the pre-pandemic levels due to under-investment in people and private sector. Gross investment has been halved as compared to last two decades. Fiscal demand and prudence to buffer supply chain disruption by advanced economies will pull away critical resources from EMDE. However, EMDE will grow at a higher rate compared to advanced economies, as shown in the graph below. Growth in advanced economies has been slashed at 0.5 per cent in 2023 from 2.5 per cent in 2022. 

Third, transforming investment regimes after the pandemic. Real output growth, robust real credit growth, terms of trade improvements, growth in capital inflows, and investment environment have seen declining trends and will remain below average rates in EMDE. This has pushed global investors to reconsider their portfolio management. The report discussed that weak investment growth is a concern because it dampens potential growth, is associated with weak trade, and makes achieving development and climate-related goals more difficult. The report recommends structural and fiscal reforms to retain the attractiveness of EMDE along with significantly increasing international cooperation, official financing and grants, and leveraging private sector financing for adequate investment to materialize.

Fourth, complex crises in small states. The global monetary tightening cycle will cause small states to have weak recoveries with large and possibly permanent losses to the level of output. The report recommends the need for economic diversification and the resilience to climate change to be the priority. Maintaining the flow of official assistance, helping restore and preserve debt sustainability, facilitating trade, and supporting climate change adaptation are stated as a crucial intervention to contain the complex crises in small states.
