Hiroshima marked the 75th anniversary of the atomic bombing on the city by the United States on Thursday, with its mayor urging the international community to unite against serious threats to humanity — be they nuclear weapons or the coronavirus — by spurning nationalistic and isolationist policies.
At a time when tensions between some world powers have heightened over the origin of the virus and geopolitical rivalries in the face of the global economic slowdown, Hiroshima Mayor Kazumi Matsui said countries should put aside their differences and come together to overcome both man-made and natural challenges.
