South Korean Politicians Visit Disputed Islands

A GROUP of South Korean MPs has visited an isolated set of islands at the centre of a territorial dispute with Japan—prompting an immediate protest from Tokyo.

Seventeen members of the parliamentary National Defence Committee flew to the Dokdo islands (known as Takeshima in Japan) on military helicopters for a day-long visit on Tuesday, an aide to committee member Han Ki-Ho said.
