No treaty was ever signed as the two countries could not resolve a dispute over the then-Soviet Union’s seizure at the end of the war of four islands in the Southern Kuril chain, known in Japan as the Northern Territories.

Akie Abe told Putin, according to the agencies, that her husband had wanted to meet Putin even after the start of the Ukraine conflict “but unfortunately circumstances were such that he was no longer able to meet you. His life was cut short.”
