“It is my firm belief that the quest for peace is the mission of the whole of mankind, a mission of the highest priority.”

“The Japanese people and their government have resolved to firmly maintain the three non-nuclear principles of not possessing, not manufacturing and not permitting the entry of nuclear weapons into Japan.”
