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

Kunashiri Island, one of four Russian-held, Japan-claimed islands off Japan's northernmost main island Hokkaido, is seen on Dec. 16, 2016, from a port at Shibetsu in Hokkaido. Japan and Russia agreed the same day to launch talks on joint economic activities on the islands, as Japan seeks to resolve the territorial row and sign a post-World War II peace treaty with Russia.
