Protest against Japan's controversial textbooks

Protest against Japan's controversial textbooks

Naoki Kumagai, deputy chief of mission at the Japanese Embassy in Seoul, enters the foreign ministry building in the capital on March 28, 2023. The ministry called him in to lodge a protest over Tokyo's approval earlier in the day of new elementary school textbooks containing an intensified claim to South Korea's easternmost Dokdo islets and watered-down descriptions of Japan's military conscription of Koreans during the Japanese colonial era (1910-45).
