Nagasaki 76 years later, Prime Minister Suga: “Doing everything possible for a world without nuclear power”

“Japan must maintain its non-nuclear principles and do everything possible to achieve a world without nuclear weapons.” This was stated by Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga on the occasion of the 76th anniversary of the atomic bomb dropped by the United States on the city of Nagasaki. “Japan, as the only country to have suffered atomic bombings, has the mission of leading the world’s efforts towards achieving a world free from nuclear weapons,” added Suga. The Japanese premier then appealed to ” nations that must work to put aside mistrust and find common ground through mutual engagement and dialogue, in the current difficult security situation and diverging views on nuclear disarmament ” ‘. In this context, said Suga, “Japan will contribute to making the next review conference of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty profitable, trying to find concrete measures on which countries can work together”. Furthermore, the Tokyo government is ” determined to transmit the memory of the horrors of nuclear weapons in collaboration with the survivors of the atomic bomb ”. ” 76 years after the destruction of Nagasaki, we continue to live in the shadow of the cloud mushroom. Only the total elimination of nuclear weapons will guarantee the prevention of the incalculable suffering they can cause, ” United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres wrote on Twitter.
