UNB, Dhaka :
Japanese Ambassador to Bangladesh Hiroyasu Izumi on Monday hoped that Bangladesh and Japan will continue to stand hand in hand to make this world more peaceful and harmonious place for all.
“I truly appreciate Bangladeshi people who have showed sympathy to the victims and expressed a strong message for peace for the world,” he said in a message marking the 74th anniversary when atomic
bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Ambassador said he was born and raised in Hiroshima, so on this very day – Hiroshima Day – he always prays for peace and for the people who suffered from the tragedy on the 6th of August 1945. “No matter how far I’m from my home in Hiroshima, this day will always stay with me.”
Izumi said he has been serving in Bangladesh for almost two years now and last year, he had the opportunity to meet many individuals involved in ‘Hiroshima Day’ events.
“It’s heart-warming to see Bangladeshis offering their prayers and sincere condolences to the victims of this tragedy,” said the envoy sharing his message for peace with the people of Bangladesh.
For that, the Japanese Ambassador said, he is ever-so thankful for the sympathy and respect Bangladeshis have shown to those who passed away. “Moreover I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for their determination to create a peaceful world for our current and future generation.”
In May of 2019, ‘Rohingya’ refugees in Cox’s Bazar made one thousand origami paper cranes, conveying the message of peace to the people of Japan.
