When Putin returned the visit in December, the eight points were reaffirmed and elaborated be- tween them. Additionally, they agreed to joint eco- nomic development of the territory disputed between them, the Kuril Islands. Final resolution of the sover- eignty dispute will follow the deepened trust to result from this cooperation. When President Putin proposed this uniquely 21st-century path of negotiations with Japan, he, of course, had in mind Chinese President Xi Jinping’s 2013 launching of the Belt and Road Initiative, a revolutionary vision of infrastructural development corridors linking all of Eurasia, spreading out into the Middle East and Africa, and, via a Bering Strait tunnel, into both American continents as well. As we have reported, the Belt and Road Initiative is the outgrowth of policy-proposals which Lyndon and Helga LaRouche have continuously fought for since 1988. As President Putin himself noted, his other refer- ence-point for this new path of negotiations with Japan, was the “Treaty of Good-Neighborliness and Friendly Cooperation between the People’s Republic of China EIRNS/Stuart Lewis and the Russian Federation,” signed in 2001 after thirty U.S. Capitol years of negotiations—negotiations which are still con- tinuing today in a closer and deeper way, with ever party were allowed to barge in and try to impose its more trust between the two sides.
