The Japanese went to Russia to convince Putin to withdraw the decision on JTI. Tokyo protested to the Russian government after the assets of Japan Tobacco International (JTI), a third of which belongs to the Japanese government, were placed under temporary management. "We have already protested to the Russian government through diplomatic and other channels and demanded that urgent measures be taken, including the cancellation of the decision," RBC quotes Japanese Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama as saying. In turn, the Japanese Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, Ryusai Akazawa, said that a delegation went to Russia "to cancel the decision of the Russian president". This included Deputy Economy Minister Katsuki Arai, Deputy Head of the European Department of the Japanese Foreign Ministry Tomoaki Ishigaki and other officials, reports the Japanese publication Nikkei.
