MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Earlier in the day, Japanese governmental sources told RIA Novosti that Galushka was expected to visit Japan and to meet Seko.
"The minister has left for Tokyo, meetings with the Japanese economy minister have been scheduled," a spokesperson for the ministry told RIA Novosti.
However, the spokesperson has not specified the dates of the meetings.
In May, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe held talks in Sochi, where they discussed a wide range of political, economic and international issues. The dialogue between the two leaders continued later in the year, when Abe visited the Russian city of Vladivostok to participate in the Eastern Economic Forum.
