Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told his Japanese counterpart, Toshimitsu Motegi, on Friday that Tokyo needs to abandon its unfriendly policy toward Moscow to resume full-fledged bilateral dialogue, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
The two foreign ministers met at the request of the Japanese side on the sidelines of a Group of 20 foreign ministers’ meeting in Atlanta, the United States.
Japan has joined Western sanctions against Russia and stepped up criticism of Moscow since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in February 2022.
