August 1, 2020   A message to participants of the International Symposium for Peace 2020 “The Road to Nuclear Weapons Abolition” on Aug. 1, 2020, at Nagasaki

Dear participants of the symposium,

Dear Nagasaki Mayor Taue,

Dear representatives of The Asahi Shimbun,

To my important colleagues and friends,

I feel very happy to be able to address all of you taking part in this symposium seeking a world without nuclear weapons. It is symbolic that this meeting is taking place in the city of Nagasaki. Like Hiroshima, Nagasaki 75 years ago suffered great damage from the atomic bomb explosion, which killed tens of thousands of victims and left behind people with disabilities on the scorched earth. I once visited the city, and those memories have remained with me until now……….    http://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/13584606
