The Iranian top diplomat also met with Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan Katsunobu Katō on Monday. 

Heading a group of survivors of chemical weapons, used during the 1980s Iraqi-imposed war, Amir-Abdollahian visited Japan as the county remembers the US atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

He reiterated Iran’s positive view of the Japanese people, civilization, and history and noted “Given the ongoing positive developments in West Asia, we believe that Japan can play a constructive role in the region,” he added.

Iranian foreign minister is also expected to hold talks with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.

Amir-Abdollahian’s trip to Japan is the first by an Iranian foreign minister since December 2019 and the first under President Ebrahim Raeisi.

Japan is marking the 78th anniversary of the US nuclear attacks on two cities days before the end of World War II.

On August 6, 1945, the US dropped the world’s first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, killing thousands instantly and about 140,000 by the end of the year. Three days later, it dropped a second bomb on Nagasaki, killing another 70,000.
