A wish for the arrival of a nuclear weapon-free peaceful society





(At the occasion of “Hiroshima-Nagasaki Peace Prayer: 5-color Concert” (1 Nov.’07) the following message by Mr. Hiroshi Yamada, Mayor of Suginami Ward, Tokyo, was given.)

 

Ladies and Gentlemen,

 

At the occasion of this peace concert I would like to express our heartfelt congratulations and respect for all who have made this event possible.

 

In 1988 Suginami Ward established the Suginami Ward Peace Declaration to express its wish to eradicate nuclear weapons.

 

Here and now again I share with you in our powerful prayer to realize a nuclear weapon-free society of peace so that our future generations can also convey their happiness based on peace.

Hiroshi Yamada

Suginami Ward Mayor
