From Japan straight out to the world: the web site for news and information

This year will mark the 79th year since an atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. As demonstrated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the armed conflict between Israel and Hamas, the global security environment is more complicated than ever, and the path towards a world without nuclear weapons has become even more treacherous.

The FPCJ has invited Nagasaki Mayor Shiro Suzuki, a second-generation atomic bomb survivor, to discuss the message he wants to send to the world at this year’s Peace Memorial Ceremony and concrete initiatives towards future nuclear disarmament ahead of next year’s 80th anniversary of the bombing. Mr. Suzuki has taken on the legacy of atomic bomb survivors and continues to work diligently to create a peaceful world without nuclear weapons, so that Nagasaki will become the last place to have ever been attacked with a nuclear weapon.

The briefing was attended by journalists from France, Korea, Russia, Spain, and USA.
