SEOUL (Jiji Press)--Fukushima Gov. Yuhei Sato asked South Korea on Wednesday to remove its travel warning to the prefecture that was imposed after the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
Sato made the request at a meeting with South Korean First Vice Foreign Affairs and Trade Minister Ahn Ho Young in Seoul.
Ahn replied that his nation will work hard to respond to the request.
South Korea restricts its citizens from traveling to areas near Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, which was crippled by the March disaster. An alert remains in place for the rest of the prefecture.
During a visit to the headquarters of Asiana Airlines on Tuesday, Sato asked the company to reopen flight services between Fukushima and Incheon Airport in Seoul. But the airline said Seoul's travel alert needs to be lifted before it can resume these services.
At Wednesday's meeting, Sato also handed Ahn a letter addressed to South Korean President Lee Myung Bak that thanks the leader for visiting disaster areas in the prefecture.
