Many hope he finds a different way to express his feelings about the Russian president, though.

President Putin chocolate is one of five recommended items you can buy at this specialty food store.
Although reportedly popular in his own country, President of Russia Vladimir Putin faces criticism from people in many countries, including Japan.
Russian President Vladimir Putin shows his playful side by only making a veiled threat against neighboring countries.
Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe met Russian President Vladimir Putin at the U.N. headquarters in New York on September 28 to discuss advancing negotiations on long-standing territorial disputes between the two countries.
Rather than focusing on politics, however, netizens have been focusing much more on the fact that, having arrived late to the proceedings, Prime Minister Abe performed an adorable little shuffle-jog straight towards the Russian prez. So adorable, in fact, that some Chinese netizens have completely reversed their initial impressions of Prime Minister Abe, and now apparently think he’s the last word in kawaii!
