Japan will not use the term “illegal occupation” with respect to the South Kuril Islands to avoid strain with Russia.
According to Foreign Minister Seiji Maehara, a new term will be introduced – “territories under sovereignty that has no legal grounds”. He made clear, however, that the approach to the problem of the Kurils would remain unchanged.
Four islands of the South Kuril mountain ridge went over to the Soviet Union after the Second World War. Russia’s sovereignty over the islands is confirmed by international treaties.

MOSCOW, February 24 (Itar-Tass) - Russian President Dmitry Medvedev will arrive in St.Petersburg on Thursday to meet with King Juan Carlos I of Spain, who will make a working visit to Russia.
On Thursday evening, Medvedev and the Spanish monarch will meet at dinner. Their talks, as well as the meeting between representatives of the business circles of the two countries, are scheduled for Friday.
Also on Friday, the president and the king are planning to take part in the opening ceremony of the Prado in the Hermitage exhibition that will launch the Year of Spain in Russia and Year of Russia in Spain yearlong cultural festivals.
The Prado in the Hermitage (25 February to 29 May 2011) will present in Saint Petersburg a group of 66 paintings from the Spanish, Italian and Flemish Schools that will allow Russian visitors to appreciate the historical and artistic importance of the Prado’s collections. At the end of this year, the Prado will present Treasures from the Hermitage (8 November 2011 to 26 March 2012) with 170 items (including classical art, decorative objects, paintings, sculptures and drawings) borrowed from the Hermitage. They will in turn reveal the variety and scope of that museum’s collections, which covers the period from the 5th century BC to the 20th century.
The programs of the reciprocal cultural festivals include guest performances by the Bolshoi and Mariinsky Theaters, the National Philharmonic Orchestra led by Vladimir Spivakov, the National Ballet of Spain, Spain's national theatre, etc.
Spain's Foreign Minister Trinidad Jimenez said although the two countries have rather developed political and cultural ties, there is a high unrealized potential in their economic and trade relations, which should be rectified this year.
In Spain, Russia will display its innovations and developments, run Aerospace Week, while in Moscow, the Life and Innovation exhibition will be staged at Manezh.
Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Zhukov who heads the Russian part of the intergovernmental economic cooperation commission noted that Russia was interested in high technologies which Spain develops in various fields - from railway transport to energy conservation.
"We're very much hoping that the Spaniards will find their interest in Russia and invest in its economy, especially in know-how," he said.
Jimenez reminded that Spain is one of the largest investors in telecommunications, banking and infrastructure projects of Latin America and China. The minister noted that Spain might use the opportunity to invest in these sectors in Russia.
The main economic event in the dialogue between the two countries will be Spain's participation as special guest at the St.Petersburg economic forum. The Spanish delegation will be led by Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero.
Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Zhukov suggested a friendly between the national football teams during the St.Petersburg forum. He said he was hoping that Spain, the current champion, would respond to this proposal.
The two countries will end their cultural festivals by the gala concert in Madrid on December 5, 2011, during the Russian president's visit to Spain.
The Russian president last made a state visit to Spain in March 2009. Medvedev first met with Juan Carlos in June 2008.
