MOFA Spokesperson’s Commentary on the Japanese Foreign Minister’s Remarks regarding Dokdo in his Foreign Policy Speech (January 20, 2017)

1. The government of the Republic of Korea deplores that the government of Japan made preposterous claims once again over Dokdo through the Japanese Foreign Minister’s foreign policy speech to the Diet on January 20.

2. The government of Japan must immediately stop its useless claims over Dokdo, which is an integral part of the territory of the Republic of Korea historically, geographically, and under international law, and remind itself that a correct understanding of history is the foundation for ROK-Japan relations.
