Tokyo earlier mentioned that Moscow’s resolution to finish memorandums on the operations of the amenities was ?unacceptable?
Moscow’s withdrawal from bilateral memorandums with Tokyo on the operations of Japan Center places of work in Russia doesn’t imply that these amenities will probably be shut down, specialists have instructed RIA Novosti.
Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed the order to cease the execution of the memorandums final week. Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi claimed on Monday that the transfer by Moscow was “unacceptable,” including that Tokyo will “respond appropriately.”
Media reviews that Russia is closing the Japan Center places of work in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Khabarovsk, Vladivostok, and Sakhalin are incorrect, RIA Novosti mentioned in an article on Monday.
“It is not about ending the activities of the Japan Center offices, which are Russian legal entities, but are financed by the Japanese government, but about ending the application of Russian-Japanese intergovernmental memorandums on the creation and operations… of the Japanese centers for technical assistance to reforms being carried out in Russia,” specialists instructed the company.
The sanctions imposed by Tokyo on Moscow over the Ukraine battle and different “unfriendly measures” carried out by Japan since February 2022 “go against the spirit and letter of the memorandums,” they mentioned, explaining the choice by Moscow.
