Abstract

This article examines some features of cooperation between Russia and Japan in the field of migration in the context of expanding bilateral humanitarian, scientific and technical cooperation. The key idea of the article is that through the development of bilateral relations with Japan, the regions of the Russian Far East receive an increase in human capital. The main tools for this are attracting Japanese investments to implementation of a number of infrastructure projects in the regions of the Russian Far East, developing educational and academic mobility, as well as mutual tourist trips. Japan is a country with one of the highest levels of human development in the world, so its experience in the formation and rational use of human capital can be extremely useful for Russia in general and the regions of the Far East in particular. Relations between Russia and Japan have significantly intensified in recent years. The volume of Japanese investments in the economy of the Russian regions has increased. There is a clear interest of Japanese business in the implementation of large infrastructure projects in the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District. Ultimately, such projects are very profitable for Russia, since the infusion of investments and the attraction of Japanese specialists contribute to the modernization of regional economies, the creation of new jobs, improving the skills of Russian employees of enterprises with the involvement of Japanese capital, and, consequently, the growth of human capital. Strengthening cooperation between Far Eastern and Japanese universities contributes to meeting the staffing needs of the regional economy, accompanied by Russian-Japanese ties, and expanding the common educational space of the Asia-Pacific region. Through mutual tourist trips, a positive image of the Russian Far East is being formed for Japanese citizens.
