The foreign ministers of France, the US and UK are to pay their first visit to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park while in Japan for the forthcoming G7 meeting, The Japan Times reported on 26 November.
The ministers accepted a Japanese government invitation, extended to diplomats of nations that have nuclear weapons. The government hopes, thereby, to teach their guests some of the consequences of using nuclear arms.
Together with Japanese Minister for Foreign Affairs Fumio Kishida, the group is expected to lay flowers and hear stories about the events following the atomic bombing of 1945.
