Japan Calls for UN Review of New World Map
The article focused on the controversy sparked by the new map adopted by the United Nations, particularly regarding the depiction of the disputed Kuril Islands as part of Russia. Japan objected to this and requested a review of the map. Japan emphasized that the islands, which it calls the Northern Territories, are an integral part of its territory, and argued that the map's portrayal conflicts with its legal and historical position. The article also addressed the deterioration of relations between Russia and Japan following an unofficial visit by Russian President Vladimir Putin to the disputed islands, which Japan considered an insult to the sentiments of the Japanese people. The summary noted that the new map has sparked international debate over its geographical accuracy, especially since it features inverted drawings that enlarge Africa and diminish the size of North America and Europe, contributing to a distorted global representation.
