Russia and Japan will continue negotiations on a peace treaty that satisfies both countries' demands, deputy foreign ministers Alexei Borodavkin and Koro Besse said during consultations on Friday.

"Both sides confirmed their intentions to continue dialogue to seek a mutually acceptable solution to the peace treaty issue," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Tokyo's claims over the four islands off northeastern Japan, which were annexed by the Soviet Union after World War II, have prevented Russia and Japan from signing a formal peace treaty to end World War II hostilities.
