Russian President Vladimir Putin tells Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe that Japan's military ties with the US and many other issues make it hard for Tokyo and Moscow to sign a World War Two peace treaty
Russian President Vladimir Putin, right, and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe shake hands during their meeting at the 5th Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, Russia, on Thursday, September 5, 2019.
Putin made the comment at an economic forum in Russia's Far East after Abe called on him to resolve a row between the countries over a disputed chain of islands that has prevented the two countries signing a peace treaty. The Russian leader said he hoped that a peace treaty could be signed in future, however, and that the two countries could eventually, resolve their long-running differences.
Moscow has repeatedly raised concerns about US military systems being deployed on Japanese territory.
