STORYLINE:
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Friday welcomed European leaders to Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, ahead of the start of the Group of Seven leaders summit in the city.
Standing alongside his wife, Yuko, the Japanese premier first greeted European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and her husband Heiko, followed by European Council President Charles Michel and U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, with his wife Akshata Murty.
The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park is dedicated to the tens of thousands who died in the world’s first wartime atomic bomb detonation.
On Aug. 6, 1945, when a U.S. B-29 dropped an atomic bomb over Hiroshima, an estimated 140,000 people were killed, and a fast-dwindling number of now-elderly survivors have ensured that Hiroshima has become synonymous with anti-nuclear peace efforts.
