Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi and Rafael Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), agreed Tuesday to keep working together to analyze the impact of nuclear-contaminated water discharge from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, Kyodo News reported.
At the outset of their meeting in Tokyo, Hayashi said the IAEA's involvement in the release of the nuclear-contaminated water "remains important," adding that Japan "would like to continue working closely" with the organization "until the last drop is discharged," according to Kyodo.
Meanwhile, Grossi pledged to join hands with Japan to tackle the water issue, the report added.
Earlier in the day, Grossi also held talks with Japan's Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, Ken Saito, and Environment Minister Shintaro Ito.
During his three-day visit to Japan, Grossi is scheduled to inspect the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant and exchange views on the water discharge with local fishermen.
