S. Korean President Requests Experts to Monitor Fukushima Wastewater Release Amid Domestic Concerns

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol requested to send experts to monitor Japan's planned release of Fukushima wastewater during a meeting with Japanese PM Fumio Kishida.
Yoon expressed respect for IAEA's findings but said he wanted to address domestic concerns in South Korea about the discharge plan.
Yoon and Kishida also condemned North Korea's latest missile launch as a provocation.
Kishida assured Yoon that Japan will not release anything harmful and will halt the release if radiation exceeds safety standards.
The leaders agreed to resume high-level economic talks between South Korea and Japan this year.
