长崎于周日举行纪念仪式，悼念1945年8月9日的原子弹轰炸事件[1]。该轰炸造成当年年底7万人死亡[1]。超过90个国家的代表出席了纪念仪式，当地时间11:02举行默哀[1]。
长崎市长铃木城一郎在仪式上强烈批评核武器政策，称"核武器不是'必要之恶'而是'绝对之恶'"[1]。他对日本政府提出呼吁，要求其坚持战后三项非核原则[1]。铃木城一郎进一步表示，核威慑论只会增加风险[1]。日本首相高市早苗出席了纪念式[1]，但她对放宽非核原则的态度模糊不清。高市早苗支持前两项非核原则——即不拥有和不开发核武器——但对第三项原则（不引入核武器）的立场并不明确[1]，这引发了原爆幸存者的担忧与抗议。
目前，长崎原爆幸存者数量已降至91105人，平均年龄超过86岁[1]。与此同时，日本拒签《核武器禁止条约》，理由是日本受美国核保护伞保护[1]。
Nagasaki commemorated the 81st anniversary of the atomic bombing on Sunday with a ceremony attended by representatives from more than 90 countries.[1] The city observed a moment of silence at 11:02 local time, marking the time of the 1945 bombing on August 9 that killed approximately 70,000 people by the end of that year.[1]
Mayor Suzuki Shoji'ichiro used the occasion to challenge nuclear deterrence theory, declaring that nuclear weapons are not "a necessary evil" but rather "an absolute evil."[1] He called on the Japanese government to maintain the country's three non-nuclear principles established after World War II.[1] However, Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae, who attended the ceremony, offered only qualified support for these principles—backing Japan's commitments not to possess or develop nuclear weapons, while remaining unclear on the third principle prohibiting the introduction of nuclear weapons into the country.[1]
The atomic bombing survivor population in Nagasaki has dwindled to 91,105 people, with an average age exceeding 86 years.[1] Japan has declined to sign the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, citing its reliance on the U.S. nuclear umbrella for protection.[1]
