The nation of Togo understands the importance of security in East Asia and the detrimental effects that can occur if security cooperation is not reached. Currently Togo is experiencing heavy political and civil unrest. This is prominent because it shows that Togo is familiar with lack of security and has already been working on solutions to fix the problem. The security predicament in East Asia is on a much grander scale than that of Togo’s, and Togo is aware of this. This also means Togo has experience with dealings of such issues. Security cooperation in East Asia is important to Togo because Togo relies on Japan for imports. If the situation worsens, Togo could lose a very important trading partner and would be forced to look elsewhere which may not be beneficial. Togo has not recently enacted any actions or resolutions regarding the topic but wishes to do so soon. Togo could even benefit from China gaining more ground, for China is too, a trading partner.
