Regarding Japan’s diplomatic blue book, which was controversial by claiming Dokdo as Japanese territory and omitting the content of “the succession of historical awareness of previous cabinets” on past history issues, Rep. Tae Young-ho, the highest member of the People’s Power, said, “It is a sign of reciprocation for future-oriented Korea-Japan relations. ″.
Rep. Tae made a personal comment yesterday and argued that Japan’s diplomatic blue book is “a sign that Japan will actively continue the trend of improving Korea-Japan relations started by President Yoon Seok-yeol.”
He expressed Korea as an important neighboring country that “needs to cooperate in responding to various challenges of the international community.” Considering various items such as “strengthening strategic ties between Korea, the U.S. and Japan,” and “expecting strong expansion of exchanges,” there is a strong will to improve Korea-Japan relations. This is an explanation that has been reflected.
Regarding the omission of the content of “inheriting the historical awareness of previous cabinets,” which Prime Minister Kishida mentioned instead of apologizing for the forced labor issue, Rep. Tae said, “It is somewhat unreasonable to judge Japan’s willfulness through over-interpretation.” .
Regarding the designation of Dokdo as Japan’s own territory, he said, “It is a hasty judgment to believe that Japan will change its position on Dokdo by being moved by President Yoon’s great victory decision.”
When it was pointed out that such comments were inappropriate inside and outside the party, Rep. Tae issued a statement and refuted, saying, “Do not read maliciously and read the original text properly.”
He also said, “The question of how to evaluate Japan’s diplomatic blue book is how we view Japan now.” He added, “From the point of view of cooperative partners, we need to pay attention to what has changed from the diplomatic blue book of the past.” claimed.
