HIROSHIMA -- Tight security and traffic restrictions were in place ahead of the arrival of U.S. President Joe Biden and other Group of Seven leaders in the atomic-bombed city of Hiroshima, which is hosting a G7 summit for the first time from Friday.
G7 leaders are scheduled to visit the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum on the first day of the summit. As part of security measures, windows on the first floor of the facility were covered with white sheets on Tuesday, blocking the view of certain areas from outside.
A 1.8-meter-high fence has been erected around the Peace Memorial Park, where the museum is located, and entry to the park has been restricted since Thursday afternoon.
