Prime Minister Naoto Kan received a courtesy call from a Special Ambassador for Denuclearization at the Prime Minister's Office.

The system of Special Ambassadors for Denuclearization was established following the announcement made by the Prime Minister in his speeches at the peace memorial ceremonies in Hiroshima and Nagasaki this August, where he stated that he would like to have atomic bomb victims act as "Special Ambassadors for Denuclearization" who will spread messages about the horror of the use of nuclear weapons to the world in various international fora.
