Japan 

Japan returns to the wording "Kuril Islands - the original territory of Japan, which is under illegal occupation of Russia."  This wording contains a draft of a new issue of the Blue Book on Diplomacy, the government's guide to the country's foreign policy. Since 2012, the government has avoided such wording, hoping to reach a compromise with Russia.  Japan claims four southern islands of the Kuril ridge - Iturup, Shikotan, Kunashir and Habomai. At the end of World War II, these territories were annexed by the Soviet Union, and the Japanese were expelled from them. In 1956, Moscow and Tokyo signed a declaration to end the warfare, but no peace treaty was concluded.
