Goyang City, Gyeonggi-do, 2014-03-27 ~ 2014-03-29 |
The Goyang Municipal Chapter (Head: Kim Ji-hun) held the "Resolution Conference to Defend the National Territory on Dokdo Island" last March 27 ~ 29 with 40 council members to review the historical significance of Dokdo Island, which is now the subject of territorial dispute with Japan, and denounce the distortion of history by Japan and its ambition of dispossessing the island.
After Kim Ji-hun, Head of the Municipal Chapter, and the council members landed on the island, they adopted a resolution to defend Dokdo Island: △ The designation of "Takeshima Day" by the Japanese government is an obvious invasion denying legal sovereignty over the island by the Republic of Korea; △ The Japanese government should acknowledge its past crime against humanity; △ The Japanese government should stop its absurd remarks and action immediately including worship at the Yasukuni shrine where mortuary tablets in honor of World War II class A Japanese criminals are placed, distortion of history in school textbooks, denial of the existence of comfort women for its soldiers, and groundless claim over the sovereignty over Dokdo Island by Japan.
