The Federation Council Deputy Speaker and member of the House of Councillors of Japan discussed issues on bilateral and international agenda.
Deputy Speaker of the Federation Council Konstantin Kosachev met with member of the House of Councillors of Japan’s Parliament Muneo Suzuki.
The meeting participants expressed concern that the political dialogue between Russia and Japan has become sporadic, which is not a normal state of affairs for relations between nations and peoples. This also extends to bilateral inter-parliamentary cooperation.
At the request of the Japanese side, the Deputy Speaker of the Federation Council provided an in-depth explanation of the causes and origins of the Ukrainian crisis. The participants discussed the current state and future prospects of Russia-Japan relations, as well as issues on the bilateral and international agenda, including regional and global security challenges.
The previous meeting between Konstantin Kosachev and Muneo Suzuki was held in Moscow in October 2023.
