WASHINGTON, Aug. 23 (Yonhap) -- After weeks of routine and
neutral statements, the U.S. government expressed thinly veiled
displeasure Thursday over a continued territorial stand-off between its
top Asian allies -- South Korea and Japan.
Both of these
countries are strong, important, valued allies of the United States,
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said at a press briefing.
It¥"s obviously not comfortable for us when they have a dispute between
them. So our message to each of them is the same: Work this out; work it out peacefully; work it out through consultations.
South Korea has sent back a protest letter from the Japanese prime
minister to President Lee Myung-bak over Lee¥"s visit to the easternmost
South Korean islets of Dokdo, which are claimed by Tokyo.
Such an unusual exchange represents a sharp diplomatic conflict between the neighboring nations.
Japan has also decided to push for raise the Dokdo issue at the
International Court of Justice and possibly also at the U.N. General
Assembly.
South Korea, however, opposes discussing its indisputable ownership of Dokdo on the global stage.
Nuland refused to clarify whether the U.S. supports Japan¥"s move.
What we want is a resolution between the two countries, she said.
She also dismissed suspicions that the U.S. has a double standard on
the territorial issue between Seoul and Tokyo and another between Tokyo
and China.
The U.S. is seen as taking the side with Japan in
its spat with China over disputed islands known as Diaoyu in China and
Senkaku in Japan. Japan has an effective control of those islands,
unlike Dokdo.
Well, on the Senkaku issue, as you know, we don¥"t take any position on
that one, either, except to say that we want that one resolved
peacefully as well, she said. So I¥"m not sure what you¥"re seeing as inconsistency here.
Nuland added that Shinsuke Sugiyama, director general of the Asian and
Oceanian Affairs Bureau at Japan¥"s Foreign Ministry, brought up the
issue of Tokyo¥"s territorial row with Seoul in a Wednesday meeting here
with his American counterpart, Assistant Secretary of State Kurt
Campbell.
Our side said what we always say, publicly and
privately, that we want to see the two countries work it out together,
she said.
미국이 ICJ행을 지지한다고 하는 일본 정부의 발언을 정면에서 부정한다 ^ ^
그리고 첨각 문제에 대해서도 미국은 중립 ^ ^
일본인은 어째서 곧 발각되는 거짓말하는지? ^ ^
