[Muan＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] The Muan County Council in Jeollanam-do announced that Chairman Kim Dae-hyun participated in the "Relay Challenge to Condemn and Urge the Withdrawal of Japan's Decision to Discharge Contaminated Water from Nuclear Power Plants into the Ocean" on the 17th.

This challenge was launched to condemn and urge the withdrawal of Japan's official decision on the 14th of last month to discharge contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the ocean, despite deep concerns from neighboring countries and the international community.

Chairman Kim, who participated in the challenge at the nomination of Muan County Governor Kim San, held a placard reading "Japan must immediately withdraw its decision to discharge contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the ocean" and delivered a message condemning the Japanese government's decision.

Kim Dae-hyun stated, "It is evident that discharging contaminated water into the ocean will lead to irreversible destruction of the marine ecosystem," adding, "The Japanese government must immediately withdraw this decision, which threatens not only the collapse of our country's fisheries industry but also the health and safety of our people."

Chairman Kim nominated Kim Ran, Superintendent of Muan Office of Education, and Kim Hyuk-sung, Chairman of Shinan County Council, as the next participants in the challenge.

Meanwhile, the Muan County Council adopted a "Resolution to Condemn and Urge the Withdrawal of Japan's Decision to Discharge Contaminated Water from Nuclear Power Plants into the Ocean" at the 1st plenary session of the 271st extraordinary meeting.
