韩国抗议日本对独岛的主权要求，理由是历史和合法所有权。 South Korea protests Japan's claim to Dokdo islets, citing historical and legal ownership.

韩国强烈抗议日本对日本名为竹岛(Takeshima)的独岛小岛的主张。 South Korea has strongly protested Japan's claim to the Dokdo islets, called Takeshima in Japan. 在一名日本高级官员出席了岛根县的“竹岛日”活动后，争端升级，该活动纪念日本建国 117 周年。 The dispute escalated after a high-level Japanese official attended Shimane Prefecture's "Takeshima Day" event, which marks the 117th anniversary of Japan's incorporation of the islets. 韩国外务省坚决声明,道多在历史上和法律上是韩国领土的一部分,并敦促日本停止其主张。 South Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs firmly stated that Dokdo is historically and legally part of South Korean territory and urged Japan to stop its claims.
