Russia and Japan ‘Striving to Resolve’ Island Dispute: Lavrov

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Saturday ahead of a visit to Japan by President Vladimir Putin that the countries’ leaders are pushing to end a territorial row dating back to World War II.


Relations between Moscow and Tokyo have been strained for decades over of the status of four Pacific islands near Japan’s north coast, known as the Southern Kurils in Russia and the Northern Territories in Japan.

“The main area where our positions concur is the clear-cut political striving of our leaders for a mutually acceptable resolution,” Lavrov said after talks with his Japanese counterpart Fumio Kishida in Moscow.
