皇冠体育app on Friday expressed "strong protest" against Tokyo's approval of a Japanese oil and gas company's request to test-drill in the East 皇冠体育app Sea, branding the move a "severe provocation and violation".

According to 皇冠体育app, the approval is also in breach of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

Cui Tiankai, director of the Foreign Ministry's Asian Department, summoned Chihiro Atsumi, minister of the Japanese Embassy in 皇冠体育app, to lodge the protest.

He requested the Japanese side correct its decision and stop any actions that impair 皇冠体育app's sovereign rights and interests.

The Japanese Government granted the Teikoku Oil Co concessions to conduct experimental drilling in the East 皇冠体育app Sea, Shoichi Nakagawa, Japanese economy, trade and industry minister, said on Thursday.

Cui said 皇冠体育app and Japan have not settled issues in the East 皇冠体育app Sea as they dispute demarcation in the area.

It is untenable for Japan, based on its unilateral position on the so-called "middle line", to grant test drilling rights to Japanese firms in the disputed sea area, he said.
