Why Japan’s sleepy city of Hiroshima was chosen to host the G7

Al Jazeera  

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida wants to ‘send a strong message’ about the need for a world without nuclear weapons. At the heart of the city, the Atomic Bomb Dome – the shell of the blast-hit Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall – stands as a permanent reminder of the destructive power of nuclear weapons. Kishida, a longtime and passionate advocate against nuclear weapons, has spoken of his desire to use the G7 summit to “send out a strong message” about the need to realise a world without them. Kishida is scheduled to greet the G7 leaders, including United States President Joe Biden, the leader of the only country to ever use nuclear weapons in war, at the Peace Memorial Park built to commemorate the victims of the attack.
