2020 falls on the 75th anniversary of both the atomic bombing and the founding of the United Nations. In order to commemorate this year, the United Nations is encouraging people worldwide to engage in discussions looking towards the future.

In response to this initiative, we held the global peace dialogue event, “UN 75 in Hiroshima” on August 6, 2020. Ms. NAKAMITSU Izumi, UN Under-Secretary-General and High Representative for Disarmament Affairs, and participants chosen from among the public will discuss ways to advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and an agenda for disarmament announced by UN Secretary-General António Guterres.
