Russia shifts the responsibility for the suspension of humanitarian exchanges with the southern part of the Kuril Islands to Japan. This statement was made at a press conference in Tokyo by Hirokazu Matsuno, Secretary General of the Cabinet of Ministers of Japan.
According to the politician, the difficult situation with the suspension of humanitarian exchange has developed because of the Ukrainian conflict. Russia’s attempts to shift responsibility to Japan, he called absolutely unacceptable.
Hirokazu Matsuno noted that the Japanese authorities intend to achieve the resumption of exchanges and projects in the Kuril Islands.
Recall that due to Japanese sanctions, Moscow stopped negotiations on many issues related to the Kuril Islands. Russia suspended the agreement on facilitated visits to the Kuril Islands, as well as the agreement on mutual trips. However, the measures did not affect the implementation of the 1986 Soviet-Japanese agreement on mutual visa-free visits to graves.
