The Japanese government"s position on the...

Responding to a parliamentary query earlier in the day, the Japanese government reiterated that "the Russian Federation is illegally occupying four northern islands."

Konstantin Kosachyov, head of the international affairs committee in the lower house of the Russian parliament, said the Japanese position is "an attempt to exert pressure on the Russian Federation and obtain concessions."

Tokyo"s continued claim over four South Kuril Islands, Iturup, Kunashir, Shikotan, and Habomai, has so far prevented Russia and Japan from signing a formal peace treaty to end World War II hostilities.

MOSCOW, February 18 (RIA Novosti) - A Russian consortium comprising En+ Group, Severstal and Renova submitted investment proposals to the Mongolian government last month to develop one of the world"s largest coal mines, a business paper said on Wednesday. According to Vedomosti, the consortium"s intention to develop the Tavan Tolgoi coal field in the Gobi Desert, with estimated reserves of 6.5 billion metric tons of coking coal, was confirmed by an executive of the Severstal steelmaker while a representative of the Renova asset management group declined to comment. A representative of En+ Group owned by Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska told the paper that the Mongolian side viewed positively the consortium"s proposals. At the same time, the Mongolian government has yet to determine its project requirements and it is not yet clear whether it will issue a license for the entire mine or for separate sections, the paper said. In any case, competition is going to be tough as major global companies, such as Vale, Rio Tinto, BHP Billiton, Xstrata and China"s Shenhua Energy are also keen to take part in the tender, the paper reported.
