  • Japan's Foreign Minister Iwaya Takeshi and his Indian counterpart, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, have reaffirmed the importance of cooperation between their countries, ahead of the launch of a new US administration.

The article from NHK World-Japan discusses the ongoing issues with the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, where the release of treated water into the ocean has been a point of contention. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been involved in monitoring the process, ensuring that the tritium levels in the water are below the operational limit. Despite the IAEA's assurances, local fishermen and neighboring countries like South Korea and China remain concerned about the environmental and economic impacts. The Japanese government and TEPCO, the plant's operator, are attempting to address these concerns through transparency and dialogue, but skepticism persists. Meanwhile, the decommissioning of the plant, which was severely damaged by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, continues to face significant challenges, with the process expected to take decades.
