Northern Territories Day Foreign Minister Kamikawa adheres to the policy of resolving territorial issues and concluding a peace treaty. The 7th is Northern Territories Day, commemorating the treaty signed with Russia on February 7, 1855, making the four northern islands part of Japan's territory.

"The Northern Territories are Japan's inherent territory. Russia's occupation of the Northern Territories has no legal basis and is illegally occupied, which is unacceptable," he said in a press conference on the day of the event.
