Russia and Japan are to work together to create a liquefied natural gas plant in Vladivostok.

An official signing for he deal will take place in November, when Russian President Dmitry Medvedev visits Japan to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Yokohama.

When the plant is operational, it is expected that five million tonnes of gas output will be shipped to Japan annually.

It is expected the new facility will begin output as soon as 2017, to liquefy the natural gas delivered by pipeline from eastern Russia.

Japan Petroleum Exploration Co. will be engaged in the construction, as will Russia's Gazprom.
