Agree to further enhance strategic outreach between think-tanks and research institutes of both countries

The two sides agree to increase the strategic outreach between the think tanks and research institutions of their respective countries

Japan's crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant commenced the operation of equipment needed for its nuclear-contaminated wastewater dumping plan for the first time on Friday as a prelude to the wastewater's final release into the open ocean.

China reiterates its warning against Japan's plan to begin releasing treated radioactive water into the sea from the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant sometime this spring or summer, saying Tokyo "has not seriously responded to international concerns."

Chinese officials, experts and industry representatives from Pacific Islands Countries (PICs) have voiced growing common concerns over Japan's unilateral decision to discharge nuclear-contaminated wastewater from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster into the Pacific Ocean. China, along with Russia, has presented a joint list of technical questions to Japan in November 2022, but the Japanese side has failed to answer either by distorting concepts, evading the crucial part or even refusing to talk about the matter, Chinese officials said.
