North Gyeongsang Province Governor: ”Suspend the 'Takeshima Day' event and abolish the ordinance” = Korean media report

On the 22nd, North Gyeongsang Province in South Korea declared that Shimane Prefecture's reckless repeated holding of the "Takeshima Day" event is an attempt to distort public opinion regarding Takeshima.
North Gyeongsang Province Governor Lee Cheol-woo issued a statement denouncing the move, saying, "For the sake of a healthy relationship of friendship and cooperation between Korea and Japan, we must continue to promote the so-called 'docto' project in Shimane Prefecture."
"We demand that the commemorative events for 'Lok Island (Japanese name: Takeshima) Day' be suspended and that the ordinance that advocates the movement to establish territorial rights be immediately repealed," they said.
Governor Lee said, "As the governor with jurisdiction over Liancourt Rocks, which is Korean soil, I believe that Liancourt Rocks is a clear Korean territory based on historical, geographical and international law.
"We will declare both at home and abroad that these islands are our country's inherent territory," he said, adding, "Japan should stop its reckless ambition to distort history and take the lead in building a new Korea-Japan relationship based on a sincere attitude of remorse."
I did.
