Japan protests Medvedev's island visit
TOKYO, Japan - Japanese Foreign Minister Seiji Maehara is questioned by reporters in Tokyo on Nov. 1, 2010. Maehara summoned Russian Ambassador to Japan Mikhail Bely to protest Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's visit to Kunashiri Island, one of a group of Russian-held but Japanese-claimed islands off Hokkaido. Maehara said at a Diet committee meeting that the first-ever visit by a leader of Russia or the former Soviet Union to the island hurts Japanese public sentiment. (Kyodo)
