Hua Chunying, spokesperson of Chinese Foreign Ministry, answered a reporter’s question regarding India’s concerns over the contingent impact of Zam Hydropower Station.

Q: Zam Hydropower Station, Tibet’s largest, becomes fully operational for commercial purposes today. The station is built on the Yarlung Zangbo River, which has raised concerns in India over the likelihood of water diversion in the lower reaches of the river. What is China's response to the concerns of the Indian side? 
       
A: On the issue of exploration and utilization of cross-border rivers, the Chinese side will give full consideration into its impacts on the lower reaches in a sense of responsibility. China and India are in sound communication on this through the expert-level mechanism. We are willing to continue such kind of communication and cooperation with the Indian side on the relevant issue.
