Ministers from Japan and Russia have agreed to strengthen economic ties and increase their exchanges of people.
Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Kono and Russian First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov co-chaired a meeting in Moscow on Friday of a committee on bilateral economic cooperation.
The committee was set up in 1994, when Kono's father, Yohei Kono, served as foreign minister.
The Japanese side proposed expanding cooperation in 4 fields, including development of infrastructure and energy resources in Russia's Far East. Russia agreed to expand on the proposals.
The 2 sides also agreed to boost personal exchanges. The agreement comes as Japan prepares to hold the Year of Russia in 2018, while Russia will hold the Year of Japan.
Earlier, Kono also met with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov. They agreed to speed up working-level talks on joint economic activity on Russian-held islands claimed by Japan.
The ministers reaffirmed the 2 nations will try to work out concrete plans for the activity by next spring. They agreed to proceed in a way that does not infringe on the legal position of either country over the islands. The activity is part of efforts to conclude a peace treaty. Japan and Russia have never formally ended their enmity following World War Two.
Regarding the Russian-held islands, the Japanese government maintains they are an inherent part of Japan's territory. It says the islands were illegally occupied after the war.
Kono and Lavrov also discussed the issue of denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. They agreed on the importance of fully implementing the UN Security Council's resolutions against North Korea, and to work closely on the issue.
Lavrov said Russia is concerned over Japan's plan to deploy a new land-based Aegis Ashore missile-defense system. Kono said the system is to counter missiles from North Korea and will not pose a threat to Russia.

Key words : China called for
https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20171125_10/
China's foreign minister has called for parties on both sides of the Korean Peninsula crisis to come together for talks.
Wang Yi was speaking on Friday in Beijing at a joint news conference with his French counterpart Jean-Yves Le Drian. They met earlier in the capital.
Nearly two months have elapsed since the last provocation by Pyongyang, which conducted several ballistic missile launches and a nuclear test earlier in the year.
The Chinese minister said the overall situation on the peninsula remains stable, but that negotiations are needed to ensure things do not escalate.
China advocates a "dual suspension" plan in which North Korea halts its nuclear and missile programs, and the United States stops its military drills with South Korea.
Le Drian told the news conference that he has doubts about the feasibility of the plan. But Wang said it is "realistic and feasible."

Tens of thousands of supporters cheered as Zimbabwe inaugurated its new president, Emmerson Mnangagwa, on Friday.
In a ceremony at the national stadium in the capital of Harare, the former vice president pledged to serve as the president of all citizens.
Mnangagwa had fled to neighboring South Africa after being dismissed by then-president Robert Mugabe earlier this month.
Mugabe resigned on Tuesday after nearly 4 decades in power. Public calls for him to step down were mounting and parliament had started impeachment procedures.
Mnangagwa will face the challenge of erasing concerns about his past as a loyal Mugabe aide. He long served as the president's right-hand man and participated in the suppression of opposition groups.
He will also have to rebuild the country's collapsed economy. Years of unsuccessful economic policies have led to hyperinflation and extreme poverty.
