MINSK, Aug. 26 (Xinhua) — A Belarusian veteran was recently awarded a jubilee medal in Minsk in honor of the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the Chinese Embassy in Belarus reported.
The honorary award was received by 105-year-old veteran Valery Raevsky, who contributed to the Victory. Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the PRC to Belarus Zhang Wenchuan handed the medal to his granddaughter.
In 2015, during a state visit to Belarus, Chinese President Xi Jinping presented jubilee medals in honor of the 70th anniversary of the Victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression to 15 Belarusian veterans, including V. Raevsky. This year, it was also decided to award V. Raevsky a jubilee medal in honor of the 80th anniversary of the Victory as a sign of deep respect and best wishes from the Chinese people.
During the award ceremony, Zhang Wenchuan noted that the peoples of the two countries will never forget the merits of all veterans who made an outstanding contribution to the victory in the World Anti-Fascist War. “I am confident that the peoples of China and Belarus will pass on this war-hardened friendship from generation to generation and promote the constant development of friendly cooperation between our countries,” the ambassador noted.
In turn, V. Raevsky’s granddaughter expressed sincere gratitude to the Chinese side on his behalf. –0–
