China has expressed support for efforts by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to ensure the safety and security of nuclear facilities amidst recent drone attacks on Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station which is under Russian occupation since 2022.

According to the official Xinhua news agency, China’s permanent representative to the IAEA Li Song told an extraordinary meeting held on Thursday (11 April) that “the impact of nuclear accidents transcends borders and there is no room for error.”
