Russia and Japan are stepping up negotiations on a peace treaty based on the 1956 declaration of the year. This was agreed at the meeting by Russian President Vladimir Putin and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, said Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov.
Peskov said that Putin and Abe, following the results of the conversation, agreed to intensify the negotiation process on the issue of a peace treaty on the basis of the Soviet-Japanese declaration 1956 of the year. Following the meeting, Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe expressed the hope that the two countries would resolve the territorial issue and sign a peace treaty.
It became known earlier that Tokyo wants to confirm the Joint Declaration of the USSR and Japan on 1956. In late October, the Prime Minister of Japan announced his intention to conclude a peace treaty with Russia.
Recall that the Joint Declaration on ending the state of war between the USSR and Japan and restoring diplomatic and consular relations was signed in Moscow on October 19 on 1956. In the 9-th article of the document, the Soviet government agreed to transfer the island of Shikotan and a number of small uninhabited islands of the Small Kuril Ridge Habomai to Japan only after the conclusion of a peace treaty. December 8 The 1956 declaration was ratified by both states, but after concluding a Japanese-US security treaty in 1960, the Soviet Union canceled the transfer of islands, indicating that Shikotan and Habomai would be transferred to Japan only if all foreign troops were withdrawn from its territory.
