''President Lee Myung Bak made an unprecedented visit Friday to a group of islets in the Sea of Japan that are at the center of a territorial dispute with Japan.
Tokyo had been asking Seoul to cancel the Takeshima trip. But Lee took the step in an apparent show of South Korea's effective control over the islets.
Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda on Friday evening expressed displeasure over Lee's trip, calling it "totally unacceptable."
