Russia recognizes Japanese consul free of charge
The FSB reported on the detention of the Consul of the Consulate General of Japan in Vladivostok, Motoka Tatsunori, “when he received income of limited distribution.” About it informs TASS.
According to the FSB report, the consul was delayed in collecting limited information about the natural community of Russia from one of the countries of the Asia-Pacific region and the impact of western emissions on the emissions of Primorye.
According to the agency, the diplomat pleaded guilty. Russia protested and recognized Japan’s Tatsunori as persona non grata.
The war against the negativity of Ukraine spoke about the relationship between Japan and Russia. The Japanese authorities imposed sanctions against Russia in the very first days of the war. On May 12, Tokyo began freezing the assets of a number of Russian banks, and also imposed an embargo on new investments in Russia for the Japanese and Japanese organizations. In May, Japan also promised to support the G7 initiative and reduce the amount of oil imported from Russia.
Russia in response to these sanctions at the end of March banned Japanese visa-free trips to the South Kuriles and interrupted the discussion of an amicable agreement on joint economic activities.
In Japan, for the first time in 2003, the Kuril Islands were called “illegally occupied” territories.
Later, the Russian authorities banned the Japanese from fishing near the South Kuril Islands. With this outcome, the Russian Federation canceled the 1998 agreement. The fishery of marine bioresources was once involved in participation in Russian-Japanese meetings. In exchange for unhindered fishing, Japan provided gratuitous assistance to the Sakhalin Region.
In September, Russia experienced a backlash with Japan to facilitate visiting the Kuriles by Japanese citizens who used to live on the islands.
