普京执政以来的俄日关系

Russian-Japanese Ties since Putin Came to Power

普京执政以来,保持了俄日双边关系的继承性。4年来,俄日两国政治关系的发展并非一帆风顺。期间,有一年半的时间关系变冷,跌入了两国关系史中的又一个低谷。从2002年下半年起,两国关系又重新步入向前发展的轨道。由于俄日两国经济发展程度不同,限制了经济上的互补,加之俄罗斯缺乏必要的投资环境,双边经贸关系发展缓慢。今后两国关系能否顺利发展,主要取决于在领土问题上能否达成妥协以及经济合作潜力是否得到挖掘以及国内政治、国际因素对两国关系的影响程度。

Since he came to power, Putin has main- tained the inheritance of Russian-Japanese bilateral relationship. During the past four years the bilat- eral political relations have been by no means a plain sailing. In between, there was a one-year-and -a-half cool down period, plumbing into another low ebb in the history of bilateral relations. From the second half of 2002, the bilateral ties have rebounded onto a forward development track. But dif- fering economic development degrees between the two countries impede their economic complemen- tariness and the lack of necessary investment environment in Russia results in a sluggish development of bilateral economic and trade relations. Whether their relations will develop smoothly in the future will mainly depend on whether they can come to a territorial compromise, whether they will tap the potentials of economic cooperation, and the extent of impact of their domestic political and interna- tional factors on their bilateral relationship.
