Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio says Japan and China have reached an agreement to resume China’s imports of Japanese seafood.
China suspended the imports in August last year after the operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant began discharging treated and diluted water into the ocean from the damaged plant.
Kishida told reporters on Friday that additional monitoring of the water discharge will be conducted under a framework led by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
He said that based on the results of this monitoring, China will resume imports of Japanese marine products that meet Chinese safety standards.
