Putin's visit to Japan, the details may be determined at a meeting with Abe this week
Vladimir Putin's visit to Japan, a schedule may be determined at a meeting of Russian President with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe this week told Reuters the representative of the Japanese government.
It is expected that Abe will meet with Putin on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum, September 2-3 in Vladivostok. Abe went on visits to Russia several times and met with his Russian counterpart since he took office in December 2012, while Putin during this time did not visit Japan.
Chief Cabinet Secretary of Japan Osihide Suga said that Putin's visit, the exact schedule has not yet been formed.
"Leaders meet ... the schedule is likely to be formed"- Suga said.
Japan seeks closer relations with Russia to counterbalance the growing influence of China, and also because of the interest in the Russian energy resources. However, previous attempts to Putin's visit have not been successful because of the Russian annexation of the Crimea, forcing Japan to join the anti-Russian sanctions of the West.
The dispute over the islands in the Pacific Ocean, known as the Northern Territories in Japan and the Southern Kuriles in Russia, has for many years does not allow the two countries to sign a peace agreement to end the Second World War.
