Abe's participation in the Victory Celebration in Moscow depends on the date - Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan

The participation of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan in the solemn events on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War in Moscow depends on the specific date of their holding. This was announced by Japanese Foreign Minister Tosimitsu Motegi at a press conference on April 28. I have not heard that a new date would have been determined at this point. Without a new date, no agreement can be made, TASS quoted him as saying. We remind that earlier Asahi Shimbun reported that Shinzo Abe will not come to Moscow to participate in celebrations dedicated to the 75th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, if they are postponed to September 3. It was reported that Abe's participation in the celebrations in Moscow on World War II, directly related to Japan's signing of the act of unconditional surrender on 2 September 1945, had already been communicated through diplomatic channels to the Russian side.
