SEOUL, 27 April, 2021(TON): On Tuesday, South Korea lodged a strong protest against Japan's renewed territorial claims to the Dokdo islets.

It called Takeshima by Japan lying halfway between the two countries.

The Seoul foreign ministry said in a statement that “The government strongly protests against Japan over its repeated futile claims to Dokdo, which is explicitly our inherent territory historically, geographically and by international law, through the diplomatic blue book.”

South Korea will sternly deal with any provocation of Japan against the country's easternmost islets, it added.

However, it gravely urged Tokyo to immediately retract the claims.
