Unpublished Records Confirm Dokdo Is Korean Territory

The third hot topic.

Let me start with something that is very obvious.

Dokdo is Korean territory.

A document has been identified that can directly refute Japan's claims that it is their land.

I have brought a classified document from 1948 showing that the United States recognized Dokdo as Korean territory.

Yesterday, the Northeast Asian History Foundation announced that it had newly discovered unpublished records related to Dokdo that had been kept by the U.S. government.

It is an official investigation report written by the U.S. Far East Air Forces after the 1948 Dokdo bombing incident.

If you look at this report,

it contains a statement that Dokdo is clearly established as part of Korea.

It also includes a provision that to use each bombing practice range for training, notification must be given to the Commander of U.S. Army Forces in Korea 15 days in advance.

Therefore, the foundation's analysis is that because they viewed Dokdo as our territory, Korea's territory, this can be interpreted as specifying the obligation for prior notification to the competent Korean authorities.

The materials identified this time are scheduled to be released through future exhibitions and special projects.
