Yuri Trutnev, Deputy Prime Minister of Russia and Plenipotentiary of the Russian president in the Far East federal region, said that Russia would carry out industrial and tourism development on the Kuril Islands in response to the statement of the Japanese Ministry of foreign affairs calling for "illegal occupation of some areas of these islands".
