South Korea will provide 5 million dollars to China over the next five years in support of its eco-restoration project in northwestern China where a desertification process is under way. The decision was made at a related vice ministers meeting chaired by chief government policy coordinator Kim Ho-shik Friday to discuss measures against the yellow dust storms from China. The government also decided to expedite the joint South Korea-China-Japan project of studying air pollutants moving a long distance until 2004 to acquire knowledge of the routes of yellow dust.
