Japanese government hopes that Tuesday's meeting between Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow will be constructive, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Syga told a press conference on Tuesday.
"Today's meeting will be held in the evening according to Japan's time, that's why I would want to refrain from any forecasts in this regard. At the same time, Prime Minister Abe said that he intends to facilitate talks on the peace treaty as much as possible. We are expecting a constructive dialogue," he said.
