South Korean Military Conducts Dokdo Defense Drill... Japanese Government "Unacceptable"

[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] Local media reported that the Japanese government protested against the South Korean military's Dokdo defense training.

On the 29th, according to local media such as Kyodo News and NHK, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly protested to the South Korean government, stating that it "cannot possibly accept (the Dokdo defense training) and deeply regrets it."

Last week, the South Korean military conducted a confidential Dokdo defense training called "East Sea Territory Protection Training," deploying naval and coast guard vessels as well as air force air power in the waters near Dokdo.

The Japanese government, which claims sovereignty over Dokdo, protests every time the South Korean military conducts the Dokdo defense training twice a year and demands its suspension.
