Kyodo News photo Taipei, April 15 (CNA) Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) has made a "solemn representation" to Japan over its decision to dump treated nuclear wastewater into the ocean, following criticism from Taiwan's main opposition party and environmental groups over the government's initial statement on Tokyo's plan. At a regular press briefing on Thursday, MOFA spokesperson Joanne Ou (歐江安) said the ministry has lodged a "solemn representation" concerning Japan's recent decision, and conveyed the concerns of different groups in Taiwan to the Japanese side. During the briefing, Ou was again asked by reporters to respond to Tokyo's announcement on Tuesday that it plans to release more than 1.25 million tons of treated wastewater from the disabled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean in around two years.
