Japan's Foreign Ministry repeats its false claims over Korea's Dokdo Island
- 6 years ago
South Korea's foreign ministry has denounced Japan's recent (QUOTE-UNQUOTE) "unjustifiable" claims over Dokdo islands... saying that such action would only slow down efforts in improving Seoul-Tokyo ties.
Japan's foreign ministry on Tuesday.... repeated its false claims over Dokdo in its annual foreign policy document... the "Diplomatic Bluebok."
Seoul has been effectively controlling Dokdo islands for decades.
Along with claims to Dokdo, it also said,.... that the waters between Korea and Japan, known as the East Sea,.... should be called the 'Sea of Japan' under international standards.
Such false claims could hurt South Korea-Japan relations... which seemed to be on a better path... after the two countries held three-way talks with China for the first time in years last week,... and promised to step up cooperation in dealing with North Korea and other issues.
