A leading scholar and president of a major research foundation said history firmly backs up Korea''s sovereignty over Dokdo and that Korea should offer grants to prominent academics around the world to conduct independent research.
"We''ve got history on our side. We are confident of it" said Kim Yongdeok, president of the Northeast Asian History Foundation in Seoul.
"We have to represent Korea''s view logically and rationally, using historical facts. Remember, history is on our side. We have to be smart about this. We should offer research grants and invite prominent scholars and academics overseas to independently study this issue. Let them decide for themselves who"s right."
