Moscow, May 29 /Xinhua/ — Tokyo’s anti-Russian course has not changed, despite the visit of the Japanese economic delegation to Moscow. This was stated on Thursday at a briefing by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.
“I can confirm that there is currently a Japanese economic delegation in Moscow. Russia, as is well known, has never “created” any obstacles for business contacts. The main thing is that this interaction is pragmatic and mutually beneficial,” M. Zagarova said.
She emphasized that from the point of view of official Tokyo, there have been no significant changes in relations with Russia. Moscow still hears about the intention to maintain sanctions pressure on Russia and continue supporting Ukraine.
“It is important to understand that Russian-Japanese relations today have reached an unprecedentedly low level due to the unfriendly course of the Japanese government, which baselessly links cooperation with our country to the situation in Ukraine, completely rejecting any understanding of the root causes of this conflict. One of the conditions is that a return to normal intergovernmental interaction is only possible after the Japanese side actively abandons its anti-Russian policy,” the diplomat stated.
