 Japan and Russia must develop a peace agreement solution, which both nations would accept, going forward one step at a time, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Friday during the annual "Rally for Return of the Northern Territories", TASS reports.

"We will advance the negotiations one step at a time to find a solution that both sides would accept," Abe said.

To that end, the two nations must reach understanding and build relations of mutual trust and friendship, the prime minister said. He underscored the importance of further development of joint Russian-Japanese economic activity in Southern Kuril Islands.
