Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao has told his Japanese counterpart Naoto Kan of China's concern over the release of radiation into the ocean and urged Japan to take "very seriously" the possible impact on neighboring countries.
"The Chinese government and people express their concern about this, and ask that the Japanese government attach high importance to the impact of this matter on the marine environment and especially surrounding countries," Wen told Kan in a telephone call yesterday.
Wen told the Japanese prime minister that his government should "strictly abide by the relevant international law and take effective prevention and control measures, as well as swiftly, comprehensively and accurately reporting the situation to China."
Kan expressed regret about the nuclear accident and told Wen that Japan would indeed provide swift and accurate information, according to a summary of the discussion on the Chinese Foreign Ministry website (www.mfa.gov.cn).
He said Japan would promptly and accurately provide information to the international community, including China, ensure transparency, thoroughly investigate the reason for the accident and contribute to global cooperation on nuclear security.
But Wen also stressed Beijing's hopes for steadier ties with Tokyo. China has been Japan's biggest trading partner since 2009.
"We are willing to strengthen cooperation with Japan for disaster relief and post-disaster reconstruction," Wen told Kan, adding that he wanted to "promote healthy and stable Sino-Japanese relations."
Kan said Japan would like to make joint efforts with China to reinforce communication and cooperation between the two countries on disaster prevention and relief, nuclear safety and clean energy.
