South Korea s defense ministry on Monday flatly dismissed Japan s renewed territorial claims to the country s easternmost islets of Dokdo, saying Seoul does not even have to repeat explanations on the matter.
Last week, the Japanese government approved 296 textbooks for first-year high school students, including 30 kinds for social studies subjects, which contain Tokyo s sovereignty claims to Dokdo.
