On February 7, 2018, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe attended the 2018 National Rally to Demand the Return of the Northern Territories, held in Tokyo.
The National Rally is held every year on February 7, which is Northern Territories Day. It is an event for related members of the public and private sectors to gather at a single venue and call for the further and broader development of the national movement for the return of the Northern Territories, and to express to those both in and outside Japan the strong resolve of the people of Japan to demand the early return of the Northern Territories.
