South Korea and China have agreed on a joint maritime environmental study on the Yellow Sea following the recent oil leaks in Bohai Bay, the innermost gulf of the Yellow Sea adjacent to South Korea, Seoul's Trade Ministry said Sunday.


The two sides held a two-day meeting of the Joint Committee on Environmental Affairs from Thursday in the city of Xiamen in southeastern China, according to the ministry.


"South Korea and China agreed to cooperate over environmental affairs, including maritime pollution," the ministry said in a statement.


The meeting comes nearly one month after South Korean Foreign Minister Kim Sung-hwan and his Chinese counterpart Yang Jiechi agreed to share information on maritime accidents such as oil leaks when they met on the sidelines of an Asian security forum in late July.


An unspecified amount of oil has leaked since mid-June from the Bohai Bay oil field jointly operated by U.S.-based ConocoPhillips and China National Offshore Oil Corp., prompting Seoul to express concern about the oil leaks.


Chinese officials have said that the oil leaks were under control and clean-up efforts were under way, but the Chinese unit of ConocoPhillips reported last week nine more sites of oil leaks, according to Beijing's State Oceanic Administration.

South Korea and China have held the annual meeting on environmental affairs since 1993.
