Japan–Montenegro relations refers to the bilateral relationship between Japan and Montenegro. Japan recognised Montenegro on 16 June 2006 and established diplomatic relations on 24 July 2006.[1]
Japan has a non-resident ambassador in Belgrade.[2] It is "the policy of the Government of Japan to attach importance to the peace and stability of Western Balkans countries including Montenegro".[3]
Background
Montenegro was an ally of Russia in the Russo-Japanese war, declaring war on Japan in 1904. Volunteers from Montenegro were sent to fight in the Russian Army in Manchuria.[4] In the peace treaty following the war, Montenegro was excluded from the treaty and a state of war continued to exist between the two countries.
In 2006, Japan recognized Montenegrin independence and declared that the war was over.[5] Thus ended the war that lasted 101 years, a war extended by diplomatic irregularity.
Development and trade
After European Union nations, Japan is Montenegro's 12th largest trading partner.[6]
Japanese community in Montenegro
According to the Japanese Foreign Ministry, there was a very small community of 11 Japanese nationals in Montenegro in 2009.[1]
