“South Korea has published thousands of new brochures to promote its claim to a pair of islands disputed by Japan, for distribution at diplomatic missions and international schools next month, a move that could further sour ties between the US allies. About 15,000 copies of the brochure, published in Korean and English and titled “The East Sea and Dokdo Islets Seen in Maps and Photos,” will be distributed next month at schools run by the South Korean embassies abroad and at private international schools for children of Korean parents.”
