On September 20, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning presided over a regular press conference. CCTV reporter asked questions, we noticed that the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has just released the consensus document reached by China and Japan on the issue of nuclear pollution water discharge from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Please brief the speaker on the relevant situation. Mao Ning pointed out that the consensus document reached by China and Japan does not mean that China will immediately resume the import of Japanese aquatic products. China will continue to follow WTO and Chinese laws and regulations, take science and facts as the criterion, and ensure safety. After effectively participating in relevant monitoring activities, conducting independent sampling and confirming the results, we will proceed to adjust relevant measures based on scientific evidence. We will conduct technical consultations with the Japanese side, and gradually resume the import of Japanese aquatic products that meet the regulations on the premise that the requirements put forward by the Chinese side are fully met. The results of the consultation and policy adjustments will be announced to the public in a timely manner.
