Rebuilding Korea Party leader Cho Kuk's recent visit to the Dokdo islets has sparked controversy as Japan lodged a formal protest expressing "regrets" about the trip.
The Korean government protested against Japan's reiteration in its annual diplomatic bluebook released on Tuesday that the Dokdo islets are Japanese territory.
The Foreign Ministry summoned a Japanese diplomat Thursday to protest an event marking Dokdo, called Takeshima by Japan, hosted by Japan’s Shimane Prefecture the same day.
