Following this, the current name for the sea between Korea and Japan should not have just one name decided on but the joint use of the Korean name ¡°East Sea¡± and the Japanese ¡°Sea of Japan¡± name together in accordance with international law.
Most of all, the U.S. state of Virginia has revised the guidelines for history and social science education in line with a newly enacted law that requires textbooks to use the Korean name ¡°East Sea¡± alongside the Japanese name ¡°Sea of Japan¡± for the body of water between the two countries on 2017.
Once Korea and Japan agree on a common designation, that is in accord with the general rule of international cartography, we will then follow the agreed-on designation.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely yours
