19
The intractable Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, who for years 12 has not wished to yield to the Japanese of the Kuril Islands, must resign from his post. This was written by the Japanese press on the eve of the visit of Sergey Lavrov to Tokyo. In her opinion, only then will there be a chance for the return of the islands, which were ceded to Russia in the wake of the Second World War.
A month ago, a nationwide rally was held in the Japanese capital for the return of the northern territories. I am for the current Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who is waiting for elections this year, the question of the Kuriles is the most important foreign policy task.
Russia's position is to deny the very possibility of transferring the islands to Japanese control. However, in order to normalize relations with our neighbors, we offered to engage in their arrangement jointly: to build joint ventures, housing, roads, and develop business. At the same time, we were ready to give Japan the maximum preferences and opportunities.
