HIROSHIMA -- At a symposium held in Hiroshima on Saturday, a hibakusha survivor of the city's atomic bombing and researchers expressed their hope for the abolition of nuclear weapons and expectations for the upcoming Group of Seven summit in Hiroshima.
It will be the first time for a G7 summit to be held in an atomic-bombed city.
Keiko Ogura, 85, shared her experiences as a hibakusha at the symposium titled "Toward a Nuclear-Free World -- Paths to Ensure Security" held by The Yomiuri Shimbun. At the age of 8, Ogura was exposed to the bombing in the city, 2.4 kilometers from ground zero.
