Moscow has hailed the deliberations in Tokyo for possibly ending the visa system for Russians travelling to Japan, Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday.
“Such discussions are undoubtedly welcomed and this fits into the general course towards further developing [bilateral] relations,” the Kremlin spokesman said.
This issue was not discussed at the latest talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, the spokesman noted.
Generally, the issues of easing the visa system are frequently on the agenda of talks with various states, Peskov noted.
