Hiroshima, August 9 (RHC) -- The chargé d'affaires of the Cuban embassy in Japan, Dairon Ojeda, ratified this Friday in Hiroshima the commitment of the island's government to defend peace and a world without nuclear weapons.

During the World Conference against Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs, held in Nagasaki, the diplomat declared that nuclear disarmament must remain one of the "highest priorities" in all political and governmental actions.

Ojeda urged the international community to redouble efforts for the universalization and institutionalization of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, as part of the multilateral architecture of disarmament, non-proliferation and arms control.

He also highlighted the humanistic thinking of the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro Ruz (1926-2016), “who was a tireless fighter for peace and nuclear disarmament.”

The chargé d'affaires and the third secretary of the Cuban mission, Jocelyne Cabañas, also attended the Peace Ceremony, one of the tributes organized to pay tribute to the victims of the United States bombing of Nagasaki (9-August-1945).

Also participating were local and national authorities, representatives of various sectors of Japanese society and, in particular, the hibakushas, ​​the name given to the survivors of that massacre.

Previously, the two Cuban representatives laid a wreath to the victims of Nagasaki in the Hipocentro park, and visited the monument ‘The Crane and the Sun’, donated by Cuba in 1988.

Since then, this work is a symbol of peace and friendship between the peoples of the Caribbean country and that Asian nation. (Source: Prensa Latina)
