TOKYO (Reuters) -Japan protested to Russia on Wednesday over curbs denying entry to 13 Japanese business executives, including the Toyota Motor chairman, as part of counter-sanctions measures.
The Russian foreign ministry published the list of 13 Japanese citizens on Tuesday, saying Moscow would permanently ban their entry into the country.
"The decision announced by Russia would restrict legitimate Japanese corporate activities and that is totally unacceptable," Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi told a media briefing in Tokyo, the Japanese capital.
Others on the list include Rakuten Group founder Hiroshi Mikitani, Toyobo Co President Ikuo Takeuchi and Toray Industries President Mitsuo Oya.
