The body of water lying between the Korean peninsula and Japanese archipelago is described incorrectly in the map of your website. We hope you appreciate the importance of transcending historical bias and provide accurate information about the East Asia region.
In addition, Dokdo, which is an integral part of the Korean territory historically and under international law, is also described incorrectly in the map on your website. The name, ¡°Liancourt Rocks¡± was given by a French whaling ship Liancourt which charted the island in 1849 and have been used by western people but never by its local people.
The name ¡°Dokdo¡± has long been used by the Korean people. This is the legitimate name that should be used internationally. Against this back drop, we would like to request you to use the name "Dokdo" when you refer to the island at issue.
