A budget proposal of approximately 300 million yen has been compiled for the reform,'' (JoongAng Ilbo) reported. According to the Yomiuri Shimbun, the Japanese government claims Takeshima, the Senkaku Islands (Chinese name: Diaoyu Islands), and the Northern Territories as its own territory.
In order to strengthen information dissemination, approximately 300 million yen will be earmarked for related expenses in next year's budget proposal. To disseminate information overseas, we regularly send e-mails containing Japan's views to well-known overseas experts.
For the domestic market, we are planning to hold seminars for foreigners. Additionally, repairs will be made to the Territory and Sovereignty Exhibition Hall in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo. The museum is dedicated to issues of sovereignty over Takeshima, the Senkaku Islands, and the Northern Territories.

In addition to displaying panels and evidence explaining the basis for why Takeshima and the Senkaku Islands are Japanese territory both historically and under international law, as well as counterarguments to South Korea and China's claims, the exhibition also features panels and exhibits that explain why Takeshima and the Senkaku Islands are Japanese territory both historically and under international law. by
This includes explaining that you are in a position to solve problems. Relations between Japan and South Korea are showing rapid improvement, with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and South Korean President Yoon Seo-gyul visiting India on the 10th of this month.

has continued to engage in performative actions to claim sovereignty over the island.In May of this year, Congressman Jeon Yong-ki, a member of the main opposition Democratic Party, landed on Takeshima with more than a dozen members of a student organization.
. Congressman Chung and others reportedly waved South Korean flags and shouted, ``Dokdo is our territory.'' It was the first time that South Korean parliamentarians landed on Takeshima since August 2021. Mr. Chung's actions at the time
There was also criticism within South Korea. Until now, the South Korean government has not acknowledged the existence of a territorial dispute over the island, and has not been able to proceed through diplomatic negotiations or judicial proceedings in the first place because the island is clearly South Korean territory.
It has been argued that this is not something that can be resolved. However, for a lawmaker to land on the island and claim territorial rights would also be acknowledging that Takeshima is the subject of controversy, which would be inconsistent with the government's position.

They protested that it was described as "inherent territory." At the time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a press commentary stating, ``The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has repeatedly made unfair territorial claims over Dokdo, which is our own territory that is clearly historically, geographically, and under international law.''

The official commentary said, ``The Japanese government should realize that repeating unjustified claims will not help build future-oriented relations.''
The Japanese government will include related expenses in next year's budget bill to strengthen the dissemination of territorial information.
As soon as it was reported that approximately 300 million yen would be allocated to the project, Korean media quoted the Yomiuri Shimbun article that reported the news. Chosun Ilbo said, ``Even in an atmosphere of improving Korea-Japan relations, Japan
Regarding the issue of sovereignty over Dokdo, there has been no change in the previous claim that ``Dokdo is clearly our own territory from the perspective of historical facts and international law.'' The Mainichi Economy is ``Japan once again revealing its ambitions''
It was reported in a headline. In addition, Seo Kyung-deok, a professor at Sungshin Women's University in South Korea who is known as an anti-Japanese activist in Japan, said on her SNS, ``This is based on international public opinion regarding Dokdo.''
"This is a typically cunning Japanese strategy of manufacturing." He added, ``It is extremely important that we take advantage of Japan's strategy,'' adding, ``For example, we should
