Hiroshima International Cooperation Project

The City of Hiroshima established the Hiroshima International Cooperation Fund in 1995, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the atomic bombing. Its profits finance the Hiroshima International Cooperation Project, which provides assistance in resolving urban problems in Asia, works towards international cooperation, and contributes to global peace and development.

In 1996, the first programs using this fund were started, including a training program in a variety of fields for participants from all around Asia.

Furthermore, the City of Hiroshima is undertaking measures to donate used vehicles, such as garbage trucks, to multiple cities in Asia.
