1. The government of the Republic of Korea deems it very regrettable that the Japanese government reiterated its unjust claims over Dokdo, an integral part of the ROK's territory, through its Foreign Minister’s foreign policy speech to the Japanese parliament on January 22. The ROK government urges the Japanese government to immediately withdraw the claims.

2. The Japanese government must stop making false claims over Dokdo, which is clearly an integral part of the ROK’s territory historically, geographically, and under international law, and humbly face up to its history.
