"We are ready to discuss various preferences for foreign investors on the Kurils. Our laws allow this," he said at a news conference after talks with his Japanese counterpart, Seiji Maehara, who is on a two-day visit to Moscow.
Russia would be pleased with the participation of foreign investors, including from China, Korea and Japan, he added. |
So, Russia even invited japan as well.

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has proposed making the disputed islands a bilateral free trade zone and Deputy Minister of Regional Development Maxim Travnikov said Thursday that Moscow "sees no obstacles to" attracting investment to the isles from countries other than Japan, such as South Korea.
Maehara said at a news conference in Tokyo, "Generally speaking, we cannot accept any proposal that could contravene our legal position that the four islands are an integral part of Japanese territory." |
This is an epic troll move by Russia. F**kin brilliant. |
