2. Embassy of Japan renews its sincere appreciation to this extraordinarily compassionate act undertaken by the Parliament since 1985. At the chamber, Honorable Speaker Om Birla said as follows:
Today marks 80 years since the tragic atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. On August 6 and 9, atomic bombs were dropped on these two cities, resulting in the deaths of a large number of innocent civilians, and leaving countless others injured or permanently disabled for life. This incident was the first time the world witnessed the devastating effects of atomic weapons.
This House reaffirms its commitment to freeing the world from weapons of mass destruction and resolves to work collectively for the elimination of nuclear weapons and the establishment of global peace.
The House will now observe a moment of silence in memory of the victims of the atomic bombings in Japan.
