On the 20th, the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement strongly protesting Japan’s Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi’s claim that Dokdo (referred to as “Takeshima” by Japan) belongs to Japan, urging him to withdraw the relevant remarks. The statement said that in response to the Japanese government’s inappropriate assertion of sovereignty over Dokdo during Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi’s speech in the National Assembly, the South Korean government expressed strong protest and called on Japan to immediately retract the statement. The statement emphasized, “Dokdo clearly belongs to Korea as its inherent territory,” and stated that “Japan’s repeated inappropriate claims are of no benefit to building a future-oriented Korea-Japan relationship.” South Korea will resolutely respond to any provocative actions by Japan.
