Justice Party "Yoon Must Express Opposition to Nuclear Wastewater at ROK-US-Japan Summit"
President Yoon Suk-yeol departed on the 18th (local time) to attend the Korea-US-Japan summit held at Camp David in the United States, while the Justice Party urged that the summit express opposition to Japan's Fukushima nuclear contaminated water.
On the 17th, the Justice Party stated through social media (SNS), "We urge President Yoon not to further play the role of an accomplice in Japan's crime of dumping nuclear contaminated water into the ocean, but to express opposition to the nuclear contaminated water to the Japanese government for the health rights of our people and the survival rights of fishermen."
The Justice Party said, "This is the last and only chance to stop the ocean dumping of contaminated water," adding, "With the Japanese government announcing unauthorized dumping at the end of August or early September, this is the last opportunity to correct the government's mistake and protect the health rights of the people and the survival rights of fishermen."
At the Korea-US-Japan summit, the three countries are expected to discuss a joint vision and basic principles for Korea-US-Japan cooperation, the establishment of a multilayered cooperation system, and practical cooperation measures to jointly respond to North Korea's nuclear missile threats. It is uncertain whether discussions related to contaminated water will take place.
