On the 21st, the South Korean government expressed concern about the move by the Japanese side. The South Korean government stated that the Japanese government arbitrarily advances the procedures required for the discharge of nuclear contaminated water in spite of the South Korean’s repeated concerns and requests to withdraw related plans. The South Korean side once again expressed deep concern about this. The government will clarify its position to Japan through diplomatic channels.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian once said that Japan’s treatment of nuclear contaminated water should not make the world pay the bill. The Japanese side should re-examine the issue of nuclear-contaminated water disposal at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant, and must not initiate sea discharging without authorization until it has fully negotiated and reached an agreement with all stakeholder countries and the International Atomic Energy Agency.
