However, He added that the conclusion of the agreement would put an end to world war II. A spokesman for the Russian leader also called Japan a very important partner.

Japan claims the Islands of Kunashir, Shikotan, Iturup and Habomai, indicating bilateral Treatise on trade and borders of 1855. Moreover, Tokyo has put the return of the Islands a condition for signing a peace Treaty which was not concluded since the end of world war II. in 1956 the USSR and Japan signed a joint Declaration in which Moscow has agreed to take steps to transfer Shikotan and Habomai following the conclusion of the contract, which it was not on Kunashir and Iturup. The Soviet Union hoped that the document will give the opportunity to put an end to the dispute, Japan saw it as only part of the resolution of the issue. The subsequent dialogues of the parties ended unsuccessfully.
