Mobile destruction of ACWs kicks off
Print Edition
China and Japan yesterday jointly kicked off mobile destruction of chemical weapons abandoned by Japan (Japanese ACWs) during World War II in Harbin, northeast China鈥檚 Heilongjiang Province.
Disposal facilities for the destruction work were set up, and Japanese ACWs found in surrounding areas were then transported to the destruction site, according to a Chinese government official.
鈥淪ince preparation for the mobile destruction work at Harbin began in 2010, China and Japan have reached agreement on issues including the technical approaches, risk assessment, environmental monitoring and contingency plans in nearly 30 rounds of talks,鈥 the official said.
In 2007, leaders of the two countries reached consensus on destroying Japanese ACWs scattered around China with mobile disposal facilities to expedite the process.
In accordance with the Chemical Weapons Convention as well as a Memorandum of Understanding inked between the two governments, Japan is responsible for destroying the ACWs and providing all necessary funds, technology, experts, apparatus and other resources, while the Chinese side offers assistance, the official added.
Harbin is the fourth Chinese city to carry out the destruction of Japanese ACWs with mobile facilities, after Nanjing, Shijiazhuang and Wuhan, where stockpiles of chemical weapons left during Japanese invasion have also been found.
