The meeting is scheduled for Saturday with discussions to be focused on the issue of a peace treaty between the two countries, as well as their cooperation on the disputed Kuril islands, which Japan refers to as the Northern Territories, Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov told reporters.

The 24th APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting will be held on Nov. 19-20 in Lima, the capital city of Peru.

Ushakov also confirmed that Putin will visit Japan on Dec. 15-16, a long-awaited visit for Tokyo that was postponed due to their unfavorable ties in 2015.

Japan and Russia have been at odds over four Pacific islands since the end of World War II.
