The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on the 17th that it had strongly protested against the South Korean side, saying that a member of parliament belonging to South Korea's largest conservative opposition had landed on Takeshima in Shimane Prefecture.
It is the first time in about two years that a South Korean parliamentarian has landed on Takeshima.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' announcement, it was found that one member of parliament and his supporters, who belong to the largest conservative opposition in South Korea, "People Power Party," landed on Takeshima in Shimane Prefecture on the 15th. ..
South Korea claims Takeshima's sovereignty.
In response, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs called the Deputy Minister of the Korean Embassy in Tokyo, Kim Young-gil, on the afternoon of the 17th, saying, "The landing was forced despite prior protests and requests for cancellation. In light of historical facts, Takeshima is clearly a territory peculiar to Japan under international law, and it is extremely regrettable that it cannot be accepted at all. "
A similar protest was also made by the Japanese Embassy in Seoul to the Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, South Korean parliamentarians have landed on Takeshima for the first time in about two years since August.
