Gyeongbuk Provincial Council Dokdo Protection Special Committee.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwiyeol] The 4th Special Committee for the Protection of Dokdo under the Gyeongbuk Provincial Council held a committee meeting on the 28th and adopted a report detailing the committee's activities.

At the 319th extraordinary session, the Provincial Council formed the Special Committee for the Protection of Dokdo, appointing nine special committee members to handle Dokdo-related issues. The committee condemned the Japanese Olympic Committee's map labeling Dokdo as Japanese territory, Japan's outrageous claims of sovereignty over Dokdo, and acts of Dokdo invasion, urging for a correct understanding of history and responding accordingly.

During the committee's activities, efforts were made to clarify that Dokdo's territorial sovereignty belongs to the Republic of Korea by promoting amendments such as the "Gyeongsangbuk-do Dokdo Education Support Ordinance" and the "Gyeongsangbuk-do Office of Education Dokdo Education Enhancement Ordinance." In provincial government questions and five-minute free speeches, members repeatedly called for the designation of Dokdo Day as a national memorial day, affirming that Dokdo is Korean territory.

Chairman Park Pansu expressed gratitude to the special committee members who voluntarily participated in protecting Dokdo and reaffirmed the commitment to continuous interest in Dokdo, as well as establishing a cooperative system among Dokdo-related institutions to strengthen protection activities.
