Russia summons Japanese ambassador following criticism of Putin's visit
The Japanese ambassador in Moscow is received this Tuesday at the Russian Foreign Ministry after missing previous summonses.
Russia has summoned the Japanese ambassador in Moscow for a meeting at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) scheduled for this Tuesday. This summons follows criticism related to President Vladimir Putin's visit to Japan.
Russian authorities accuse the ambassador of having missed previous summons, claiming it was done under the 'pretext of illness'. This absence has been deemed problematic, especially amid diplomatic tensions.
This meeting comes amidst increasing friction between the two countries, with Russia responding firmly to statements made in Tokyo regarding Putin's visit. The nature of the criticisms remains a central point in diplomatic deliberations.
