Pointing to the Hiroshima Peace Media Center (HPMC) located in the Chugoku headquarters, Tashiro said the activists at Chugoku have been calling for ensuring the peace worldwide since 1945.

Tashiro, and the Japanese officials including Foreign Minister Katsuya Okada, also welcomed the offer of formation of an anti-nuclear-weapon journalists’ assembly.
