Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's visit to South Korea

Summit between Japanese Prime Minister Kishida and South Korean President Yoon, May 7, 2023 : A TV screen at a train station shows a live news report on a summit between visiting Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and South Korean President Yoon Suk-Yeol in Seoul, South Korea as well as news reports on islets called Dokdo in Korean and Takeshima in Japanese. According to local media, South Korea says the desolate volcanic islets have been recorded as being a part of Korean territory since 512 but Japan says that although it gave up all territorial rights to Korea under the 1951 Treaty of San Francisco, control of the islets was not relinquished to Korea. Japan colonised the Korean Peninsula from 1910 to 1945 by force. South Korea has been in effective control of the islets, with a small police detachment, since its liberation from Japan's 1910-45 colonial rule. (Photo by Lee Jae-Won/AFLO) (SOUTH KOREA)
