The mayor of Hiroshima called on global nuclear-armed nations to engage in dialogue to build trust.

Mayor of Hiroshima Condemns Global Arms Expansion on the 80th Anniversary of the Atomic Bombing!

Hiroshima Mayor Kazumi Matsui stated at the commemorative ceremony for the 80th anniversary of the U.S. atomic bombing that countries possessing nuclear weapons and other large-scale weapons should engage in dialogue and build trust relations, using this as the basis for their own security.

"World leaders who increase weapons, including those with nuclear weapons, do not have a responsibility to engage in constructive dialogue? You must start dialogue aimed at building trust relationships, based on which your own security is established."

"The United States and Russia still possess 90% of the world's nuclear arsenal, and arms races around the world are accelerating."

Mayor Matsui invited world leaders to visit Hiroshima to personally witness the consequences of using atomic weapons.
