With this year marking the 75th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, both cities, their people and A-bomb survivors are making efforts to convey a message of nuclear abolition.
But both cities may not be aware of what the other is doing or the current circumstances and challenges facing the other city.
With that in mind, the Chugoku Shimbun and Nishinippon Shimbun, newspapers based in the two A-bombed cities, have launched a joint project to report on topics shared by the two cities from each newspaper’s perspective.
