During his term, he developed a relationship with the Siberian town of Shelekhov, particularly a bilateral dialogue to improve the gravesites of Soviet soldiers in Japan and Japanese soldiers in Siberia; he was so close to Russia that Japanese authorities monitored him closely as a potential communist sympathizer. He visited Shelekhov more than 15 times during his 35 years in office, and part of his ashes were buried there following his death.{{cite news|last=Reitman|first=Valerie|title=Personal Element to Japan Premier's Russia Trip|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2000-apr-28-mn-24496-story.html|access-date=15 January 2014|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|date=28 April 2000}}[http://as.baikal.tv/news/new.html?newsid=200103256&arch=25.03.2001 Ёсиро Мори побывал на могиле отца] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110722021421/http://as.baikal.tv/news/new.html?newsid=200103256&arch=25.03.2001 |date=2011-07-22 }}[http://baikalnature.com/guides/landmarks/27 The Monument of Friendship between Russia and Japan] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100324083103/http://www.baikalnature.com/guides/landmarks/27 |date=2010-03-24 }}
