China affirms strong will to reduce fine dust pollution in NE Asia
  • 6 years ago
China has expressed a firm determination to reduce fine dust pollution as South Korea continues to press Beijing to take the transnational health hazard much more seriously.
Meeting his South Korean and Japanese counterparts in Beijing on Sunday,... China's Environment Minister (Lee-gang-jee) Li Ganjie said China will unveil the results of its research on the long-range transboundary air pollutants in Northeast Asia next year.
Last year,... the three nations agreed to issue the report this year,... but failed to do so after Beijing claimed the data used in the research was outdated.
The Moon Jae-in administration in South Korea has pledged to cut fine dust emissions by over 30-percent within its five-year term,... and to strengthen environmental cooperation with China.
