Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said Thursday that he "strongly demanded" to President Xi Jinping in their first meeting in a year that China immediately revoke bans on Japanese seafood imports imposed after the Fukushima water release.

"Regarding the discharge of treated... water into the ocean, I strongly demanded a calm response based on scientific evidence and the immediate removal of restrictions on imports of Japanese food products," Kishida said after meeting Xi in the United States.
