Mr. Obama said the memory of Hiroshima must never fade: "It allows us to fight complacencies, fuels our moral imagination and allows us to change."
Of nuclear weapons, he said: "We must have the courage to escape the logic of fear and pursue a world without them."
Mr. Obama then spoke to two survivors, hugging 79-year-old Shigeaki Mori.
"The president gestured as if he was going to give me a hug, so we hugged," Mr. Mori said.
Mr. Obama also talked to Sunao Tsuboi, 91.
