Arrangements are being made for the leaders of the Group of Seven nations to visit the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum when they visit Hiroshima for the G7 summit on May 19-21, several government sources said.
If realized, it will be the first group visit by all G7 leaders to the museum, which features exhibits about the atomic bombing of Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945.
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, who will preside over the summit, plans to emphasize the importance of working toward a "world without nuclear weapons" and convey the unity of the G7 to the world.
