Hello from Tokyo. Seventy-nine years ago today, Nagasaki, a city in western Japan, was devastated by an atomic bomb. Nagasaki and Hiroshima remain the only places in the world to have experienced such destruction. Each summer, ceremonies are held in both cities to silently pray for peace and renew the resolve to achieve a planet without nuclear weapons.
Ambassadors to Japan from the other G7 nations – the US, UK, Canada, Germany, France and Italy – refused to attend Friday’s (August 9) peace ceremony in Nagasaki because the Israeli ambassador had not been invited. The only other countries not invited were Russia and Belarus.
NAGASAKI (Kyodo) -- Nagasaki marked on Friday the 79th anniversary of the U.S. atomic bombing of the city during World War II, but its peace ceremony was hit by controversy after several ambassadors pulled out following the city's decision not to invite Israel.
The presidential election is less than 90 days away. This is what we’re watching.
The U.S. and British ambassadors to Japan said on Wednesday they would not attend Nagasaki’s annual peace memorial ceremony this week, which marks the day the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the city, because Israel had not been invited.
Singapore has a very limited role to play in the conflict in the Middle East, said Minister for Foreign Affairs Vivian Balakrishnan on Wednesday.
TOKYO (Kyodo) -- Envoys of the United States and other Western nations sent a letter to Nagasaki in mid-July expressing concern over the city not inviting Israel to its peace ceremony on the anniversary of the 1945 atomic bombing by the United States, the document showed Wednesday as multiple ambassadors pulled out of the event.
