At the Korea-US-Japan foreign ministers’ meeting held on the 14th, it was found that the issue of preventing the spread of ‘false information’ related to the discharge of contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant was also discussed.

Today (16th), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan issued a press release following the trilateral foreign ministers’ meeting held in Jakarta, Indonesia, “exchanged views on cooperation on preventing the spread of false information regarding ALPS treatment water.” said.

This is not included in Korean or US data.

It seems that Japanese Foreign Minister Hayashi Yoshimasa requested such cooperation from South Korea and the United States while the Japanese government is strengthening public relations ahead of the ocean discharge of contaminated water planned for this summer.

South Korean Internet media reported that the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs had recently handed over 1 million euros (regarding 1.4 billion won in Korean currency) of political funds to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which had verified the plan to discharge contaminated water, and induced the Japanese government to come to a favorable conclusion. “I strongly oppose the dissemination of irresponsible false information,” he said.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Park Jin held a meeting with Foreign Minister Hayashi in Jakarta on the 13th on the occasion of attending the ASEAN-related foreign ministers’ meeting and said, “The Japanese government must maintain high transparency and reliability, and take measures to secure scientific safety as well as public peace of mind.” he emphasized.
