BEIJING, Sept 20 — China and Japan reached a consensus in August on the discharge of radioactive water from the Fukushima nuclear plant, Chinese state television CCTV reported today.

The two sides agreed on Japan establishing a long-term international monitoring arrangement and allowing stakeholders to conduct independent sampling and monitoring, the report said.

China stressed during talks that independent sampling should be conducted first before “gradually” resuming any imports of Japanese aquatic products.
