"We touched upon the problem of a peace treaty during the talks," Lavrov said. "We agreed that a next round of consultations that are conducted by our deputies upon instructions from our leaders will be held in Moscow on October 8," he added.
According to the top diplomat, cooperation of Russia and Japan meets long-term interests of the two peoples.
"We confirmed understanding reached by our president and the prime minister of Japan that the development of cooperation between our counties meets the interests of our peoples," Lavrov said, calling "intensive" his three-hour-long talks with the Japanese counterpart.
"We expressed mutual interest in continuation of reciprocal dialogue, including at the summit level," Lavrov said adding there would be many opportunities to do that this year, citing the possibility for summit meetings of the two countries’ leaders on the sidelines of the G20 and APEC summits.
He also drew attention at two countries’ intentions "to boost effort towards remedying negative tendencies in trade and economic sphere". "Some other bilateral events will be contributing to this apart from a session of the intergovernmental commission scheduled for tomorrow," he added.
