Today marked the 77th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, it is a somber reminder of the tragedy and pain we can inflict to ourselves. As young Ambassadors we support younger generations in their path to achieve peace.
In Hiroshima today, I paid tribute to the tens of thousands of people killed by atomic bombs 77 years ago.
We cannot forget the lessons of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
We must act in their memory & wipe nuclear weapons off the face of the earth once and for all.
We are deeply saddened by the tragic passing of former PM @AbeShinzo.
Japan and the world lost a great statesman and a remarkable leader.
Our prayers are with the Abe family and the people of Japan.
Nous sommes profondément bouleversés et choqués par l’attaque par balle contre l’ancien premier ministre Shinzo Abe.
Nous sommes aux côtés du peuple japonais en ce moment difficile. Nos pensées et nos prières sont avec lui et sa famille.
I was happy to be part of the recent courtesy call by Ambassadors of Latin America & Caribbean on Japanese Foreign Minister Hayashi. I expressed gratitude for Japan’s cont’d bilateral support to 🇯🇲 & joined my colleagues in calling for Japan’s increased engagement w/ the region.
We hope to encourage other young leaders of Japan and our countries to work closely in order to forge a better and brighter future together.
