Gyeongsangbuk-do began introducing various programs and events to mark the month of Dokdo Island in October.

In consideration of the COVID-19 situation and the typhoon damage recovery efforts, group events where many people gather will be limited, and focus will be on practical events.

The main programs include a symposium on the theme of “A project to restore the river channel, the spring of life where the Dokdo Volunteer Guards drank,” to lay the foundation for strengthening the external status through an objective re-uation of the Dokdo Volunteer Guards. It will be jointly hosted with Congressman Kim Byeongwook at the National Assembly Hall on the 18th.

Moreover, on the 21st and the 22nd, a symposium will be held under the theme, “The maritime law focusing on the Dokdo issues,” which is in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea at Sungkyunkwan University.

Furthermore, on the 15th, it will sponsor a special lecture on “Rebuttal to the content of Takeshima in middle school textbooks in Shimane Prefecture,” which will be held by the “Group that Rethinks the Day of Takeshima” in Osaka, Japan.

The 4th Dokdo Goods Biz Fair, in which about 20 companies will be participating, will be held in the Chilgok Nakdong River World Peace Culture Festival from the 28th to the 30th to promote the industrialization and practical use of Dokdo-based products.

Various events will be also held to foster a better understanding of Dokdo Island.

The Know Dokdo Island Right Education (to be held in 5 sessions) will be provided to elementary, middle, and high school students in the province, and, on the 25th, an online Dokdo quiz will be held in the Dokdo clubs in universities.

Meanwhile, in Ulleungdo on the 1st and 2nd, the Dokdo Taekwondo performance was held to raise awareness of Dokdo territorial sovereignty, and on the 4th and 11th, the Dokdo Humanities Class was held at Daegu Gosan Library.

Gyeongsangbuk-do Governor LEE CHEOL-WOO said, In celebration of the 122nd anniversary of the promulgation of the Korean Empires decree, we will do our best to enhance the international status of Dokdo Island as a peaceful territory of the Republic of Korea, to strengthen effective dominance, and to solidify the sovereignty of Dokdo Island.
