Yoon holds summit with Kishida

During S.Korea-Japan summit in Lithuania, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol asked Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida to include South Korean experts in the inspection of wastewater release.

President Yoon said that top priority should be given to people's health and safety and asked Japan to share the monitoring data obtained during the entire wastewater release process in real time and to allow Korean experts to participate in the inspection. He also demanded that if the concentration of radioactive substances exceed the allowed limit, Japan should immediately stop the release and notify Korea. 

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida referred to the IAEA's final report that found Japan's release plan compatible with international standards and emphasized repeatedly that the country will not go ahead with wastewater release that adversely affects human health and the environment. He also said that the release would be stopped immediately when the concentration of radioactive substances exceed the allowance level.
