Information CD `Tokdo Is Our Land`

CD, which informs that `Tokdo is our land`, is to be distributed to the major universities and research institutes in the world.

Ocean Boundary Research Forum, a private organization that studies the issues of Tokdo, announced yesterday that it would distribute the CDs to overseas to inform our dominium of Tokdo. The CD includes various documents which state that Tokdo is Korea`s territory historically, geographically, and legally in terms of international law.

The Forum already completed the production of 1,000 CDs, which were made in three languages such as English, French and Spanish, and began to prepare for sending. This CD will be distributed to the national libraries, well-known colleges of the U.S. and Europe, and the international affairs related research institutes. An official of the Forum said, "We will continue our work to bring to awareness to those who recognize Tokdo as Japan`s territory, that Tokdo is Korea`s territory."
