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

Japanese and Russian fishermen land sea urchins at a port in Nemuro in Japan's northernmost main island Hokkaido on Dec. 16, 2016. Japan and Russia agreed the same day to launch talks on joint economic activities on Russian-held islands, off which the urchins were caught, 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.
