Russian President Vladimir Putin shaking hands with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe during their meeting on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, Russia on Monday — Reuters VLADIVOSTOK, Sept 10 (Reuters): Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said on Monday that talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin were moving towards a peace treaty.
Russia and Japan have not signed a peace treaty since World War II because of a dispute about Pacific islands known in Russia as the Kuriles and in Japan as the Northern Territories.
Abe also said after a meeting with Putin in Vladivostok that the head of Japan’s self-defense forces would visit Russia in October.
