James e carter age

TOKYO >> With the passing of Jimmy Carter this week, condolences came from across Japan, notably in areas that had cultivated ties with the former U.S. president.

Carter, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, died Dec. 29 at the age of 100.

He was the first U.S.

president to visit the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, in May 1984, after serving as president from 1977 to 1981. “This memorial must be a constant and permanent reminder for all people to work for peace and better understanding,” he wrote in the museum’s guestbook.

“He contributed greatly to peace through his actions to visit conflict-torn regions in an effort to mediate disputes,” said Toshiyuki Mimaki, co-chair of Nihon Hidankyo (Japan Confederation of A- and H-Bomb Sufferers Organizations), which received the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize.

“Global affairs are deteriorating even further, and the world is becoming increasingly divided.

I hope U.S. President-elect Donald Trum
