The groups discussed their own experiences of war and the use of nuclear weapons. The group also discussed the need to build bridges between Japan and other countries. The rally ended with a call to end the war by ending nuclear weapons in Japan and all over the world. It was the first of a series of meetings to discuss the future of the world's nuclear arsenals.
