The Foundation held a Dokdo policy seminar under the theme of "Reopening of Japan's National Museum of Territory and Sovereignty and Our Tasks" at its conference room on February 4 (Tuesday). It was a place to scrutinize policies related to territory and sovereignty and the research and surveys of the Japanese government that reopened the National Museum of Territory and Sovereignty on January 20 and the associated problems, and to discuss our tasks.
During the policy seminar, researcher Kim Gwan-won of the Foundation analyzed policies of Japan's Cabinet Secretariat related to territory and sovereignty, and researcher Kim Young-soo of the Foundation scrutinized the status and contents of data related to Dokdo in the "Jukdo" portal site of the Japanese Cabinet Secretariat. Researcher Hong Seong-geun also reviewed the exhibition contents of the National Museum of Territory and Sovereignty, reopened on January 20, and their problems. Professor emeritus Kim Byung-ryull of Korea National Defense University, Foundation researcher Lee Myong-chan, and Professor Han Cheol-ho of Dongkuk University took part in the designated debate.
The seminar was a meaningful place where we could seek countermeasures by delving into the policies related to the Japanese government’s territory and sovereignty and review our tasks.
