Russia expects to implement agreements on cooperation with Japan in near future, says deputy foreign minister

MOSCOW, April 27. /TASS/. Russia expects to soon implement documents on cooperation with Japan in the trade and economic sphere, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Igor Morgulov said in his speech at the fourth Russian - Japanese forum dubbed "The Points of Convergence" on Friday. He noted that trade-investment cooperation is an important component of Russian-Japanese ties and that its potential has not been used in full. "There is still discussion of cooperation plans based on the Russian list of priority investment projects and on the plan consisting of eight items suggested by [Japanese] Prime Minister [Shinzo] Abe," Morgulov said. "The involved governmental agencies have already signed about 100 various specific documents, and we hope to make them operational soon," the Russian deputy foreign minister stressed. The dialogue between Moscow and Tokyo received a boost at various levels. The development of economic cooperation is based on a plan consisting of eight items which Abe proposed in May 2017. The document stipulates the consolidation of relations between the two countries in the energy industry, small and medium businesses, the Far East’s industrialization and in the export base extension. It also includes a proposal to step up cooperation in advanced technologies, including the nuclear industry, and in the sphere of humanitarian exchanges. Read more
