Prominent Japanese politician, High-city, is expressing assertive stance on the longstanding Takeshima Island dispute with South Korea, by asserting the need for ministerial presence on Takeshima Day. Asserting Japan's political control over the territory, High-city aims to augment diplomatic pressure on South Korea. This development unfolds amidst the backdrop of the upcoming commemoration day, symbolizing heightened tension between the two countries.

Takeshima Island has long been a subject of territorial contention between Japan and South Korea. In Japan, Takeshima Day (February 22nd) is observed as a symbol of Japan's claim over the island. High-city's demand for governmental presence on this day serves to solidify Japan's stance in this ongoing dispute, which is an issue of significant national concern within Japan.

Similar territorial disputes exist globally, but the approach varies. For instance, in the US, issues like Puerto Rico's status are often politically charged but governed by internal debate. In the EU, various territorial disputes, like Gibraltar, have diplomatic negotiations at their core.
