66 years ago, Hiroshima suffered the world's first atomic bombing. To prevent
repetition of such tragedy, the city has sought ever since to covey the
facts of the bombing to the world. We have engaged in a wide variety of
efforts for peace and now seek to build a 21st century of peace and humanity
free from nuclear weapons.

The 11th World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates was held in Hiroshima from
November 12 to 14, 2010. His Holiness the Dalai Lama, former South African
President Willem De Klerk, four other individual laureates and representatives
from 13 laureate organizations came together for six sessions to discuss
issues based on the theme of “the Legacy of Hiroshima: a World without
Nuclear Weapons.”
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon became the first secretary-general to attend the Peace Memorial Ceremony in the atomic bombed city of Hiroshima in August 2010. Secretary-General Ban has shown strong determination in promoting his five-point plan for nuclear disarmament, which he first proposed at a symposium at the UN Headquarters in New York in October 2008, and has been a firm supporter in realizing Hiroshima’s wish for the abolition of nuclear weapons and lasting world peace. At the NPT Review Conference in May 2010, the Final Document was adopted by all the member parties through Secretary-General Ban’s great leadership.
