Minsk, October 29 (Xinhua) — Establishing Taiwan Liberation Memorial Day will further promote the preservation of the results of the victory in the World Anti-Fascist War and the post-war world order. This was stated by China's Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Belarus Zhang Wenchuan in an interview with Belta on Tuesday during the third Minsk International Conference on Eurasian Security.
Zhang Wenchuan noted that hosting an international forum in Belarus to discuss peace and security is a significant event. He emphasized that the topic of national unity and non-interference in the internal affairs of the state is also important for China.
The ambassador recalled that recently, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of China, in accordance with the Constitution, decided to legally enshrine October 25 as Taiwan Liberation Memorial Day and stipulate that the state will hold various commemorative events on this day.
Zhang Wenchuan emphasized that establishing Taiwan Liberation Memorial Day will further promote the achievements of the World Anti-Fascist War and the post-war world order. It will also further demonstrate the firm resolve of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people to uphold the one-China principle and defend national sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity.
"China's sovereignty and territory have never been divided and never will be divided; Taiwan's status as part of China has never changed and never will. No matter what changes occur within Taiwan, no matter how much external forces try to stir up unrest, the historical trend toward the final and inevitable reunification of China is irreversible," Zhang Wenchuan stated.
The ambassador also noted that the one-China principle was enshrined in the agreement establishing diplomatic relations between China and Belarus and has been repeatedly reaffirmed in joint statements by the two heads of state. "The Chinese side highly appreciates the fact that the government and people of Belarus have long firmly adhered to this principle, supported all of China's efforts to safeguard national unity, and resolutely opposed any form of so-called 'Taiwan independence,'" Zhang Wenchuan concluded.
