Minister for Territory Matsumoto said at a recent press conference he posted on the homepage of the Cabinet Secretariat additional information proving the fact that Japan ruled Tok Islets.

Rodong Sinmun Friday says in a commentary in this regard:

The Japanese reactionaries are making profound confusing of a master and a robber by citing misinformation lacking any credibility in a bid to make the world recognize Tok Islets as part of the territory of Japan. However, such shameless and base method does not work on the world.

From the viewpoint of history and international law Tok Islets are part of the inalienable territory of Korea.

It was Koreans who were the first to discover Tok Islets and declared them as part of Korea's territory as required by international law and reconfirmed dominium over them and proclaimed it at home and abroad before any others. This is recognized by material and legal evidence.

Not a few evidence proving that Tok Islets are part of the territory of Korea were discovered in Japan, too.

The Japanese reactionaries must be well aware of this if they have eyes and ears.

The above-said misinformation posted on the homepage of the Cabinet Secretariat reveals the gangster-like intention to grab the historically recognized part of the inalienable territory of Korea.

It is the final goal of the Japanese reactionaries to grab Tok Islets and swallow up the whole of Korea and then advance into the continent and realize the old dream of the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" at any cost.

Tok Islets will always remain part of the territory of Korea.
