Japan and China have reached an agreement regarding the discharge of treated radioactive wastewater from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean. China, which had previously banned Japanese seafood imports in response to the discharge, will work towards easing the ban and participate in monitoring the wastewater discharges under the auspices of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). This deal signifies a step towards resolving the dispute, although concerns remain about the safety of the treated water.
