The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 marked the end of a terrible war in which untold innocent civilians were slain. Both cities have since shown great dignity and fortitude, not only in rebuilding but in confronting their history and becoming powerful advocates for peace. Just as Covid-19 highlights our common vulnerabilities, so the efforts of the Hiroshima Prefecture to preserve the memory of 1945 remind us that nuclear weapons do not discriminate. An attack on one city is an attack on all humanity. I offer my solidarity as you continue to strive for peace, dialogue and comprehensive, multilateral nuclear disarmament.
