Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary says the government welcomes the US plan to send an envoy to the ceremony to mark the 65th anniversary of the 1945 atomic bombing of Hiroshima.
Yoshito Sengoku said on Thursday that the United States has formally informed the government that its ambassador to Japan, John Roos, will attend the ceremony in Hiroshima on August 6th.
He noted that this will be the first time for a US government representative to attend the annual event.
Sengoku said the government hopes the occasion will serve as an opportunity for the United States to deepen its understanding of Japan's pledge to prevent another atomic catastrophe from happening.
