Related Topics World » Russia » Japan » By Yoko Nishikawa and Ben Blanchard TOKYO/BEIJING | Tue Nov 2, 2010 3:00am EDT TOKYO/BEIJING (Reuters) - Japan said on Tuesday it was recalling its ambassador to Moscow temporarily to hear explanations about a row over disputed islands that is snarling ties with Russia. Japan's Prime Minister Naoto Kan, struggling with a divided parliament and a fragile economy and now under fire for what critics call his mishandling of a similar row with China, got a fresh headache on Monday when Russian President Dmitry Medvedev visited one of four islands that both nations claim. China told the United States on Tuesday to stay out of its row with Japan, saying it was strictly a bilateral affair. Adding to Kan's diplomatic headaches, Russia's Medvedev on Monday visited an island outpost claimed by Moscow and Tokyo, reigniting a row with Japan, which demands their return. But leaders from Japan and Russia will likely hold talks at an summit of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) on November 13-14, Japan's top government spokesman said, adding Tokyo was considering what steps it might take after lodging a protest with the Russian envoy to Tokyo on Monday. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Monday called the Japanese reaction "unacceptable," but U.S. State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley weighed in on Japan's side. "We do back Japan regarding the Northern Territories. But this is why the United States for a number of years has encouraged Japan and Russia to negotiate an actual peace treaty regarding these and other issues," Crowley said. JAPAN-CHINA ROW: BAD FOR BUSINESS Strained relations between Japan and China have raised concerns about the fallout for business given deep economic ties between Asia's top two economies. But the two countries, both facing domestic pressure, seem no closer to resolving it. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton last week urged both Beijing and Tokyo to be calm and offered to host trilateral talks to restore relations to an even keel. "We believe such talks are in the interest of all three countries and we are confident that they would advance shared objectives," said a U.S. State Department official traveling with Clinton in Malaysia, speaking on condition he not be identified. But on Tuesday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Ma Zhaoxu dismissed the proposal as "a U.S. idea," adding that it was "totally wrong" to include the disputed islands in any U.S.-Japan defense agreements. "It must be pointed out that the Diaoyu islands are Chinese territory, and the dispute between China and Japan over them is one between the two countries," he said in a statement on the Foreign Ministry's website (www.mfa.gov.cn). Sino-Japanese relations deteriorated sharply in September after Japan detained a Chinese trawler captain whose boat collided with Japanese patrol ships near the chain of disputed islands, called Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China. Critics in Kan's own party as well as the opposition accuse Kan of caving in to Chinese demands by allowing the release of the captain, and it is one reason his support ratings have sunk to around 40 percent after just five months in office. 1 2 Next World Russia Japan Comments See All Comments (1) | Post Comment Nov 02, 2010 12:57am EDT Seems like Japan may lose these four islands.
