So far, positive changes are not expected in relations between Russia and Japan. On the contrary, so far, everything suggests that there is a tendency for further cooling. This statement was made in an interview for RIA Novosti by the Deputy Head of the Russian Diplomatic Mission in Japan, Charge d’Affaires ad interim Gennady Ovechko.
“The Japanese side, under far-fetched and unfounded pretexts, introduced illegitimate personal restrictions, cut off contacts in a number of fields, froze the Central Bank’s gold and foreign exchange reserves, abolished the treatment of the nation the favored in trade, initiated investment restrictions and a ban on the export and import of a wide range of goods, proposed a ceiling price for Russian petroleum products, expelled our diplomats,” Ovechko said. .
Dilomat expressed the opinion that basically the authorities in Tokyo have openly shown that they are aiming for a policy that could harm Russia. Moreover, Japan is now the chair of the G7 and has repeatedly stated that the pressure on Moscow from the organization must be increased, and the authorities in Kiev, on the contrary, must be fully supported, said noted Ovechko.
Earlier, it was learned that NATO plans to open an office in Japan to coordinate with close partners in the Asia-Pacific (APR) region, including Australia, South Korea, the Philippines and New -Zealand. This is a wake-up call not only for Russia and China, but for all of humanity, Sergey Sanakoev, president of the ANO Asia-Pacific Research Center, said in the paragraph. He believes that hysteria and the constant threat of triggering new conflicts that could escalate into world wars have already become the hallmark of the United States.
