The leaders of the world's wealthiest democracies are meeting in Hiroshima, the site of the world's first nuclear attack, as they discuss the dangers of Russia and China.
abc.net.au/news/g7-begins-in-hiroshima/102365638As one of only two cities to experience the utter devastation of nuclear weapons, Japan's Hiroshima makes for a symbolic location to host this year's Group of Seven meeting.
"We've grown accustomed for decades that nuclear deterrence, nuclear stability was being managed somewhat," said international security expert Corey Wallace from Kanagawa University. Further sanctions will be applied to Russia, according to Reuters, which Dr Wallace said would also send a strong, unified message to China.
He'll be giving a personalised tour of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, which details the horrors the residents of Hiroshima endured.
