The parliamentarian hopes that negative foreign policy factors and the pressure of extremist forces within Japanese society will not be able to block the negotiation process and the world community will react to the wish of Russia and Japan to legally secure open good-neighborly relations with responsibility and understanding.

“Obviously, Russia and Japan have hard work ahead to fulfill the task set by the heads of state on preparation for the signing of a peace treaty, which is necessary to bring our relations to a new level,” he said.
