[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Je-hoon] Yoshihide Suga, Chief Cabinet Secretary of Japan, announced on the 5th that he strongly protested to South Korea regarding the South Korean military's Dokdo defense training.


At a press conference that afternoon, Secretary Suga stated, "This Takeshima (竹島, the name Japan uses for Dokdo) related training is absolutely unacceptable and regrettable, considering that Takeshima is clearly Japan's inherent territory both in light of historical facts and international law."



Secretary Suga also said, "We immediately lodged a strong protest with the South Korean side," adding, "Although the difficult situation in Korea-Japan relations continues, we will keep demanding appropriate responses from South Korea on various issues."
