Japan has once again laid false claims to South Korea's easternmost island of Dokdo.<br /> The Cabinet in Tokyo adopted its annual defense white paper on Tuesday, which wrongly says that Japan has unresolved territorial issues involving the so-called "Northern Territories"... and Korea's Dokdo, which it calls by the name Takeshima.<br />Japan has been making the claim since 2005. <br />Seoul's defense ministry strongly appealed against the statement and urged Japan to immediately correct the phrase and stop such claims. <br />Seoul's foreign ministry called in the Deputy Chief of Mission at the Japanese Embassy, Koichi Mizushima, to lodge a formal complaint. <br />
