The foreign and defence ministers from Japan and Russia are meeting in Tokyo for the first 'two-plus-two' talks since Russia's annexation of Ukraine. Today's one-day meeting comes as the sides work to end a decades-long territorial dispute that is blocking them from forging a peace treaty. <br/><br/>Officials on both sides said the talks would largely focus on regional security. Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida will meet with his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov. Japanese Defence Minister Tomomi Inada will sit down for talks with Russian counterpart Sergei Shoigu. <br/><br/>The four ministers will also hold joint talks on international and bilateral issues. Japan and Russia last held "two-plus-two" talks in November 2013. Meetings were shelved after that due to the crisis in Ukraine, as Japan joined sanctions against Moscow.
