Putin and Abe urged to abandon bellicose rhetoric on the Korean issue
The Russian president noted that belligerent rhetoric could not lead to a resolution of the conflict. Press office Kremlin cites Vladimir Putin’s statement:
According to the head of the Japanese cabinet ministers, both Tokyo and Moscow will continue to demand Pyongyang to strictly comply with the resolution, which provides for the refusal of the DPRK to conduct nuclear tests and develop a nuclear program.
Recall that earlier in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the DPRK stated that nuclear tests will be carried out when they deem it necessary.
Speaking about bilateral relations between Japan and Russia, both leaders reminded journalists that consultations in the “two + two” format were held in March of this year with the participation of the ministers of defense and foreign affairs of the two countries.
President Putin and Prime Minister Abe agreed that the 2018 year will be the cross year of Japan in Russia and Russia in Japan.
Against this background, the radicals again held actions in Japanese cities, demanding that Shinzo Abe "force Russia to return the Northern Territories." So in Japan continue to call the Russian Kuriles.
