======================================


Do not allow “Hiroshima vision” to justify the possession of nuclear weapons by G7 countries

G7 summit in Hiroshima was a nuclear war conference. With on-the-spot participation of Ukrainian president Zelenskyy and the decision of providing depleted uranium rounds, “counter-offensive” on Russia has been launched. We cannot allow the fact that such a decision to intensify and escalate the war was made in Hiroshima. Above all, the most outrageous inadmissible declaration is published in the “Hiroshima vision” under the initiative of Japanese prime minister Kishida that the possession of nuclear weapons by G7 countries has been playing its role as deterrent power while denouncing Russian and Chinese nuclear weapons.


We surrounded Nuclear Conference, G7 summit, with anger of Hiroshima


We have carried out protest demonstrations 7 times in 5 days in opposition to G7 summit with slogans: “Stop nuclear war conference!” and “Crush G7 summit!” A large number of passers-by joined in our actions and raised voices of protest. In front of the Parliament in Tokyo, demonstrations have been organized every day against the doubling of military budget and reactionary amendment of Immigration Control Act. Labor unions have launched workers’ struggle to refuse cooperation in war.

 Let’s gather to Hiroshima on August 6th from all over Japan and issue an appeal to the whole world : “Stop Ukraine war now!” “Prevent aggressive war on China” “Prevent nuclear war!” “Let’s strengthen international solidarity and fight against the war policy of our own governments!”


Down with Kishida government and crush his policy of participation in the Ukraine war, a large-scale militarization and release of contaminated water into the ocean!


Kishida government is rushing to war through providing vehicles of the Self-Defense Forces to Ukraine and decision to possess enemy base strike capabilities and doubling the defense budget.

Japan-US joint military exercises have been repeated against assumed enemy, China, with an aim of aggressive war. Moreover, Kishida government has decided to further promote nuclear power as preparation of nuclear armament and is planning to back to business as usual, definitively finishing with Fukushima nuclear power plant accident by the dumping of radioactive water into the ocean.


Matsui, Hiroshima mayor, has shamelessly glorified G7 Hiroshima summit as “Summit for Peace” and declared to “expect realization of Hiroshima Vision”. He is going to make  Peace Memorial Ceremony a theater to confirm that “Nuclear weapons and war are necessary to confront Russia and China” with the participation of Kishida, the  chief promoter of the Hiroshima Vision. 


We never allow Peace Memorial Ceremony to be a place to admit the G7 agreement on possession of nuclear weapons and war.

Let’s rush to the A-bomb Dome and occupy its square with the angry voices of workers and people : “We  denounce Hiroshima Vision”, “Do not admit Kishida’s presence in the ceremony!”



G7 Leaders’ Hiroshima Vision on Nuclear DisarmamentMay 19, 2023 Hiroshima (extracts)

  • Our security policies are based on the understanding that nuclear weapons, for as long as they exist, should serve defensive purposes, deter aggression and prevent war and coercion.
  • We reaffirm our commitment to the ultimate goal of a world without nuclear weapons with undiminished security for all, achieved through a realistic, pragmatic and responsible approach. 
  • Those G7 countries which opt for nuclear power, or related peaceful nuclear applications, recognize that the use of nuclear energy, science, and technology contributes to providing affordable low-carbon energy.
