Foreign Minister Kamikawa's ``Takeshima is Japanese land'' speech in the Diet... South Korean government ``strongly protests and demands immediate withdrawal''

On the 30th, Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa claimed in her diplomatic speech at the plenary session that Takeshima (Korean name: Dokdo) was "Japanese territory," and the Korean government ``strongly protested and immediately withdrew this claim.''
I ask that you do so.” On the same day, South Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) said in a statement that ``Dokdo is an inherent territory of our country that is clear in terms of history, geography, and international law.''
The government continued, ``The Japanese government's unwarranted claims cannot have any impact on Japan's sovereignty over Dokdo, which is Korea's inherent territory.''
We would like to make this clear once again, and make it clear once again that we will resolutely respond to any provocation by Japan toward Dokdo."
``The Japanese government believes that repeating unwarranted claims to Dokdo is completely useless in building future-oriented Korea-Japan relations.''
We need to be very clear about this," he warned. In his speech that day, Foreign Minister Kamikawa said regarding Takeshima, ``Based on the basic position that it is Japan's inherent territory according to historical facts and international law,
We will take appropriate action."
