Seoul protests Japan ceremony

SEOUL, South Korea - Takashi Kurai, deputy chief of mission at the Japanese Embassy in Seoul, leaves the South Korean foreign ministry on Feb. 22, 2013, after being summoned by Park Jun Yong, director general of Northeast Asian affairs in the ministry, to lodge a protest against the ''Takeshima Day'' ceremony held in Japan the same day to promote its claim to islets situated about halfway between the two countries in the Sea of Japan. South Korea controls the islets and calls them Dokdo, while Japan claims the islands are part of Shimane Prefecture and calls them Takeshima.
