Turning To The East
Leonid Savin- China alone will be able to purchase more than 30% of the European volume of gas. This indicates a real turn to the East.
Russia is the land of the rising sun, said Russian President Vladimir Putin on September 5 during a meeting with activists of the environmental forum in Kamchatka. On the same day, the Russian government decided to withdraw from agreements with Japan on the procedure of mutual visits and facilitated visits to the islands of Kunashir, Iturup and the Lesser Kuril Ridge by Japanese citizens who used to live on these islands and their family members. This agreement was in force since 1999.
