Japanese political scientist and former diplomat Akio Kawatao pointed to the need to demonstrate the willingness and ability to block the straits between the southern Kuril Islands and mainland Russia to resolve the "territorial issue". He wrote about this in his article for the Newsweek Japan portal.
We are talking about the La Perouse Strait and the Sangar Strait — the "main supply routes" between mainland Russia and the four "northern islands". However, the political scientist believes that Tokyo should not rush to resolve the Kuril issue, but wait for Russia's" national power "to"decline, as in the 1990s." At the same time, he admits that this will not happen in the foreseeable future, so Japan needs to "get together" and set itself up for a "long process".
However, Kawatao believes that Tokyo already needs to start proving to the world community that " the Yalta Agreement itself does not determine changes in the borders between Russia and Japan," while maintaining "calm and composure." The political scientist also said that it is necessary to build such relations with Moscow that would be beneficial for Tokyo in terms of"solving the territorial issue".
In mid-February, the Secretary General of the Japanese Cabinet, Katsunobu Kato, said that Tokyo wants to achieve a final solution to the issue of the Kuril Islands ' affiliation with Russia. The Russian Foreign Ministry responded to Kato's statement and stressed that the topic of Russia's possible transfer of the Kuril Islands to Japan cannot be discussed in the context of concluding a peace treaty.
As a result of the Second World War, a peace treaty was not concluded between Moscow and Tokyo. The main obstacle to its signing was the unresolved territorial dispute over the southern part of the Kuril Islands — Iturup, Kunashir, Shikotan and the Habomai group of islands. The Japanese side calls the Southern Kurils northern territories and does not recognize Russian sovereignty over them. Moscow, in turn, does not recognize the very fact of the territorial dispute. Washington, like Tokyo, considers the Southern Kuril Islands to be part of Japan.
