Seoul: According to the Foreign Ministry, South Korea and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) held high-level talks to discuss North Korea's nuclear programme, Japan's planned disposal of radioactive tainted water, and other issues.

According to the international media report, Ham Sang-wook, the Deputy Foreign Minister for Multilateral and Global Affairs, visited Massimo Aparo, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency Department of Safeguards, in Seoul.  During the discussion, Ham recommended that the IAEA take a proactive role in improving transparency and safety in Japan's planned wastewater disposal from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant.

Tokyo intends to release the water that has been kept in tanks at the decommissioned plant as early as 2023. Since 2013, Seoul and the International Atomic Energy Agency have held high-level consultations to promote bilateral strategic dialogue.
