SOUNDBITE:(Japanese) Osamu Fujimura, Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary: "Prime Minister Medvedev's visit to Kunashiri Island this time runs counter to Japan's position on the four Northern islands, and it is extremely regrettable.

SOUNDBITE:(Japanese) Osamu Fujimura, Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary: "Fundamental problems relating to the Northern Territories must be solved in order to avoid such visits in the future. For that, we are at a point in time where we need to tirelessly negotiate and solve the problem of the attribution of the islands, based on trust between the leaders of Japan and Russia." 6. Wide of news conference STORYLINE: Japan's top government spokesman Osamu Fujimura on Wednesday criticised Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev's visit to the disputed Kuril Islands. Medvedev travelled on Tuesday to one of the four disputed islands, which are claimed by both Russia and Japan, and promised increased investment in the region. Speaking to reporters at a news conference on Wednesday, Fujimura said the visit was "extremely regrettable" and "runs counter to Japan's position". "It pours cold water on the efforts to create a positive environment between Japan and Russia," Fujimura said. Fujimura added that negotiations should continue between the two countries "based on trust between the leaders of Japan and Russia". In Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Medvedev was visiting a part of Russian territory. He also said that their Japanese neighbours were aware of Moscow's policies in regard to the disputed islands. During his trip to the Sakhalin region, Medvedev said that Russia needed the Far Eastern territories, not just to oppose its enemies but also to attract investment. Medvedev pledged to allocate more government funding for the construction of fisheries and roads on the islands. Russia captured the Southern Kurils chain, that lie some 7,100 kilometres (4,400 miles) from Moscow, in 1945, but Japan still claims it as its own. The dispute for nearly seven decades has prevented Moscow and Tokyo from signing a peace treaty to formally end their hostilities. Surrounded by rich fishing waters, the islands are believed to have offshore hydrocarbon reserves, gold and silver deposits. After the 1991 Soviet collapse, the island chain suffered neglect and its population has plummeted. Many remaining residents took up poaching of fish and crustaceans that are then sold illegally to Japan, South Korea and China. Japan claims the Soviet troops took control of the islands illegally and has consistently called for their return as a precondition for fully improved ties.
