Japan recalls ambassador to S. Korea
In reaction to the South Korean President's visit to the dispute islets, Japan has recalled its ambassador to South Korea.
South Korea said Monday it will recall its ambassador from Japan over rekindled claims to disputed islands between the countries, as the new Seoul government seeks to lift its sagging popularity at home with an appeal to nationalism.Japan announced its intention Monday to recommend in a government teaching manual that students learn about Tokyo's claims to the nearly uninhabitable islets, known as Dokdo in Korean and Takeshima in Japanese, that are under South Korean control.
