일본 또 독도 도발…고교 '왜곡교육' 의무화 시기 3년 앞당긴다

The nation's foreign ministry expressed regret over Japan's recent revision of its teaching manual.
Earlier today, Tokyo's education ministry posted a guide for instructors to teach Korea's Dokdo as Japanese territory from next year -- three years earlier than originally planned.
Stressing that the Island is Korean territory historically, geographically and under international law..., Seoul views this act as an "unwillingness of Japan's government to reflect on its past mistakes and proceed to a new future".
The foreign ministry added Korea won't tolerate any provocations over the eastermost Islets... and called on its neighboring country to immediately withdraw the plan.
