Japan’s trade minister Yasutoshi Nishimura said Japan and the US are working together to make the next generation of semiconductors, while also collaborating with a broad range of Asian nations to strengthen chip supply chains.

“This is something we’re pursuing within the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity, which includes 14 countries from India to Fiji,” Nishimura said in a panel discussion at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in Singapore on Tuesday. “We’re hoping the US and Japan can be at the center of building up supply chains for key materials.”
