외교부, 독도 영유권 주장 되풀이 철회 촉구…日총괄공사 초치
The government summoned a senior Japanese Embassy official in Seoul to lodge a complaint against Tokyo's most recent claims to Dokdo.
The foreign ministry made the complaint following the release of Japan's "Diplomatic Bluebook," which contained the false claims.
The ministry also raised the issues of Japan's wartime sexual enslavement and forced labor.
During a press briefing, a ministry spokesperson demanded Tokyo withdraw its claims over Dokdo, stating that it is "South Korean territory historically, geographically and based on international law."
