〔編譯林翠儀/綜合報導〕日本和南韓因為獨島(日稱竹島)主權爭議,展開書信外交攻防戰!南韓政府二十三日退回日本首相野田佳彥寫給南韓總統李明博的親筆抗議信,但日本外務省關門謝客,讓打算歸還信函的南韓駐日使館人員吃了閉門羹。

針對李明博登上「竹島」並公開要求日本天皇道歉一事,野田十七日透過正式外交管道,寄給李明博一封親筆信表達遺憾之意,並敦促雙方將「竹島」問題交付國際法庭仲裁。南韓經過多日內部商討後,二十三日宣布退回該封信函。

讀賣新聞報導,南韓退回信件的理由,包括李明博訪問的島嶼是「獨島」,而非野田所稱的「竹島」,信中的指控「與事實不符」,既然有違事實,當然不能自相矛盾收下信函或回信。南韓外交通商部發言人趙泰永二十三日表示,回信恐將變成一個先例,讓外界誤以為兩國領導人之間有島嶼問題存在。

日本方面則認為,不管信函內容如何,退回邦交國元首的親筆信,不僅失禮也有違外交慣例。日方高層二十三日獲知消息後相當惱火,官房長官藤村修聲稱此舉「十分失禮」。外相玄葉光一郎也說,此舉「按外交慣例不可能發生」。

野田二十三日在眾議院表示,李明博要日皇致歉的發言「非常脫離常識」,要求韓方致歉並撤回發言。玄葉二十二日更在國會答詢時撂下重話,聲稱南韓「非法佔據竹島」。這是民主黨政府二○○九年上台以來,首次使用「非法佔據」的強烈措辭。

南韓改採寄掛號信退回

為反制南韓退信,日本外務省二十三日以韓方未正式預約為由,拒絕負責歸還信函的南韓駐日使館人員進入。南韓因此改採掛號郵寄方式退回該信函。

另外,美國白宮國家安全會議亞太事務主任羅素(Daniel R Russel)和助理國務卿坎貝爾,二十二日在華府與日本外務省亞洲大洋洲局局長杉山晉輔舉行會談時,重申「釣魚台為美日安保條約的適用對象」。對於「竹島」的紛爭,,美方表示,領土紛爭一般應依循國際法和平解決。

    South Korea's Public Administration and Security Minister Maeng Hyung-kyu (2nd L) and governor of North Gyeongsang Province Kim Kwan-Yong (3rd L) pose during an unveiling ceremony for a new monument on the east island of a set of remote islands called Dokdo in Korean and Takeshima in Japanese, east of Seoul August 19, 2012. Japan's ties with South Korea, where resentment over its 1910-1945 colonisation still remains, have frayed since South Korean President Lee Myung-bak visited the islands. The 1.2-metre tall monument is engraved with the Korean word for "Dokdo" on the front and "Republic of Korea" in Lee's handwriting on the back.
