Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa on Tuesday criticized US Senator Lindsey Graham’s repeated justification of the US atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Kamikawa said at a news conference that the Republican senator’s comments were “extremely regrettable.”
โI will never stop working to promote a better understanding of the reality of the damage caused by the atomic bombings,โ she said.
During a TV program on Sunday, Graham said, “That was the right decision,” about the atomic bombings because they were used to end World War II. He also made a similar statement in the US Senate on May 8.
