Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said he would seek maximum progress during his upcoming talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"I will visit Russia this month to hold negotiations. However, you always have negotiation partners, so I cannot make any forecasts about the outcome," the Japanese prime minister said during a joint news conference with UK Prime Minister Threresa May in London.
"But my hope is to achieve as much progress as possible during the negotiations with president Putin," Bloomberg cited Abe as saying.
