Dokdo Island in the East Sea

Maritime Affairs Minister Oh Keo-don held a news conference on Monday where he said the fisheries agreement did not involve the body of water within 12 nautical miles of Dokdo. He added, a renegotiation of the fisheries agreement would halt all fishing activity in the area, impacting the local industry, while possibly triggering clashes.
The minister said Seoul would strengthen efforts to guard Dokdo, by dispatching larger naval vessels and increasing aerial observations.
The “Revised Complete Map of Japanese Lands and Roads” of 1779, which Japan used as the oldest and the most solid grounds for its claim on the territorial rights of Dokdo, was simply a transportation map, and thereby does not support Japan’s claim on the islets, according to a Korean scholar.
According to Choi Seo-myeon, the head of International Korea Research on April 10, the map also includes Busan and Gyeongnam province. Therefore, insisting on the territorial rights of the islets based upon the map is equivalent to insisting rights on Busan and Gyeongnam province as well, which makes Japan’s argument inconsistent.
Choi raised his argument in his special lecture before the “Committee on Asia’s new pillar,” a committee of the House of Representatives of Japan on April 7. The committee invited Choi to give a lecture.
The map, the first Japanese map in which latitude and longitude appear, covers “Matsushima” (Ullungdo’s Japanese name) and “Takeshima” (Dokdo’s Japanese name), but the locations of the islets are recorded regardless of the actual distances. Therefore, he argued, it is appropriate to regard the map as a transportation map.
Choi went on to say that much later, in 1892, “A Map of the Empire of Japan (Nihon taigoku chizu),” which was published by the biggest map publisher of Japan, indicates Ullungdo and Dokdo as Chosun dynasty territory, providing inarguable evidence that Dokdo is Korea’s territory.
This video shows historical evidence proving Korea’s territorial rights to Dokdo Island in the East Sea. A Dokdo research institute found this evidence from old Japanese texts.
