韓国軍の竹島訓練に抗議　政府

　加藤勝信官房長官は２５日の記者会見で、韓国軍が島根県・竹島で４日に訓練を実施したことについて、「竹島が歴史的事実に照らしても、国際法上も明らかに日本固有の領土であることに鑑み、受け入れられない。極めて遺憾だ」と述べ、韓国側に強く抗議したことを明らかにした。（2020/12/25-12:25）

The Japanese government has strongly protested against a South Korean military drill conducted earlier this month around the disputed Sea of Japan islands of Takeshima, Chief Cabinet Secretary Katsunobu Kato said Friday.
   "The drill is unacceptable as Takeshima is an inherent part of Japanese territory in light of historic facts and international law," Kato, Japan's top government spokesman, told a press conference. "It's extremely regrettable."
   In Seoul on Friday, South Korean military officials said that the drill to "defend" Takeshima was held on Dec. 4 and that it did not involve any landing exercise.
   The islands of Takeshima in Shimane Prefecture, western Japan, are effectively controlled by Seoul and are called Dokdo in South Korea.
