(LEAD) S. Korea considering sending back Japan PM's letter over Dokdo
SEOUL, Aug. 22 (Yonhap) -- South Korea is considering turning away the protest letter Japan's prime minister wrote to President Lee Myung-bak over his visit to the easternmost South Korean islets of Dokdo and his remarks about Japan's emperor, officials said Wednesday.
Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda's letter was handed to Seoul's Embassy in Tokyo last Friday, describing as regrettable Lee's Aug. 10 visit to Dokdo and his remarks that Japan's Emperor Akihito should apologize for Japan's 1910-45 colonial rule if he wishes to visit South Korea.
