No progress in ROK-Japan territorial talks
Japan and South Korea wrapped up two-day talks over a long-standing territorial row with no breakthrough, a news report said yesterday.
The two sides were negotiating boundaries around a set of rocky islets claimed by both sides. The talks ended with no agreement and the countries will hold another round of talks in Seoul in September, Kyodo News agency reported.
The talks on the islands - called Takeshima in Japanese and Dokdo in Korean - were the neighbours' first on the topic in six years.
Both sides want the islands as a basis to claim exclusive rights over marine resources.
