Message from Prime Minister Shinzo Abe:
I attended the Nagasaki Peace Memorial Ceremony and expressed my
sincere condolences to the souls of the great number of atomic bomb
victims.
I profoundly contemplated how precious peace is and
once again pledged to firmly uphold the "Three Non-Nuclear Principles"
and lead the international community towards realizing a world free of
nuclear weapons so that the horror and devastation caused by nuclear weapons are not repeated.
This year the average age of atomic bomb survivors is for the first
time over 80 years old. We must not allow the aging atomic bomb
survivors’ wishes for peace to fade away. At the Peace Memorial
Ceremony, survivor of the atomic bombing told the younger generation
about the harsh situation after the bombing and conveyed their strong
wishes for peace. I was really struck as the blue sky was filled with
the beautiful singing of young people, who heard those words and will
later shoulder the future of Nagasaki.
