The United Nations has designated September 21 as "International Day of Peace," calling for nonviolence and a ceasefire, and at the same time, the Peace Park in Hiroshima City rings the "Peace Bell" and prays every year.
On the 21st, representatives of the A-bomb survivor groups gathered at the Peace Park, handed flowers to the A-bomb memorial monument, and then abolished nuclear weapons and realized world peace in time with the sound of the "peace bell" ringing at noon. All of us silently prayed for the wishes.
Acting Chairman Tomoyuki Minomaki of the Prefectural Union, who participated, said, "I prayed for those who are suffering in Afghanistan and Myanmar. I want people all over the world to live calm days in a world free of nuclear weapons and poverty. I have to do it. "
In addition, Kunihiko Sakuma, the chairman of another prefectural union cooperative, said, "It is doubtful that there are still conflicts in the world and that nuclear weapons will help world peace. I want to. "
