As you probably know, the Group of Seven is meeting in Hiroshima, Japan. Japan's Prime Minister Kishida's family is from Hiroshima. It was also chosen to highlight nuclear nonproliferation efforts in a time when there are threats and the possiblity of nuclear aggression in the world. PM Kishida greeted the leaders from the G7 at the city's Peace Memorial Park on Friday and escorted them to pay respects to those who died. In addition, the group saw exhibits at the Peace Museum and met with an atomic bombing survivor. Sunday the Prime Minister will do the same for leaders from guest nations. I hope that seeing in person what nuclear weapons can do, will make a difference in the direction these world leaders take.

Visiting the Peace Museum was one of my most profound travel experiences ever. Its' sobering.
I would like to ask the word’s top leaders to make efforts to realize a peaceful world from this moment on.
I am glad the G7 summit was held in Hiroshima and that considerable time was allocated to the visit to the Peace Museum. Seeing firsthand what HORRORS atomic weapons cause must be the best way for world leaders to fully grasp the responsibility they hold.
I was also impressed by President Zelensky's remark - he had seen with his own eyes how a city can be rebuilt after such destruction. That had given him even more determination to protect his country, and hope for the future and a rebuilt, prosperous Ukraine.
Keep up the faith!
Oh I hope so too, sadly man does not seem to learn from history.
No matter how important or powerfl someone becomes, we should never forget what consequences our actions can have on other people. I'm glad these powerful men and women took the trip to remember.
