On Tuesday the White House has stated that Barack Obama will become the first serving U.S. president to visit Hiroshima during a trip to Japan later this month and the historic visit will highlight his continued commitment to pursuing the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons.


The Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has told that the visit was a very big decision for Obama, and he has said that he has welcomed the president from the bottom of his heart and he would like this visit to be an opportunity to honor all the victims in Japan and in the United States and has consistently called for the abolition of nuclear weapons.


Abe has also added that by having President Obama visit Hiroshima and see the realities of radiation exposure, and by having him communicate his thoughts and feelings to the world, he believe this will lend great power towards achieving a world without nuclear weapons.


Many Americans believe that the atomic attacks were justified and hastened the end of the war and the Japanese survivors' groups have campaigned for decades to bring leaders from the U.S. and other nuclear powers to see Hiroshima's scars as part of a grassroots movement to abolish such weapons.
