The article outlines Soviet plans to visit Japan via Foreign Minister Gromyko and possibly Premier Kosygin to counter Nixon's Peking trip, aiming to isolate Washington and secure Japan's neutrality or support. It notes Moscow’s 1966 pledge for regular consultations, Japan’s island dispute over the Kurile Islands, and potential long term trade deals including timber and energy, with Japan seeking credibility after U.S. shifts and a weak dollar.
