Akio Matsumura. It has been seven years since the nuclear disaster at Fukushima, Japan on March 11, 2011. “Most people do not realize the repercussions that disasters like the Fukushima nuclear meltdown have on the world. When it happens the media is all over it, and then soon they trickle off and nobody ever thinks about it again,” notes Akio in an article that he posted on his website on March 11. Akio Matsumura has worked in London and New York City for the United Nations and international organizations for 45 years. He served as a Secretary General of the Moscow Conference hosted by President Gorbachev in 1990 and of the Parliamentary Earth Summit Conference hosted by National Congress of Brazil at Rio de Janeiro in 1992 and many other international conferences. Akio is Founder of the Global Forum of Spiritual and Parliamentary Leaders to which many Native peoples were invited. For more information about Akio and his work, visit www.akiomatsumura.com.
