Abe, Putin to launch talks on joint activities on disputed isles

A fishing boat (L) and a Japan Coast Guard patrol vessel sail off Nemuro in Japan's northernmost main island Hokkaido on Dec. 16, 2016, with Suisho Island, part of the Habomai group, visible in the background. Japan and Russia agreed the same day to launch talks on joint economic activities on Russian-held islands, including the Habomai group, at the center of a territorial dispute, as Japan seeks to resolve the row and sign a post-World War II peace treaty with Russia.
