BEIJING, July 8 (Xinhua) — The Peace and Friendship Forum dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War was held in Shenyang, capital of northeast China's Liaoning Province, on Thursday. The event, titled "Common Destiny, Joint Path to Peace," brought together distinguished guests from SCO member states and friendly countries, media representatives, experts and scholars to discuss ways of peaceful development.
The forum, held in the heroic city that holds the memory of the war of resistance, was a tribute to the historic victory over fascism 80 years ago, a profound call for the formation of a community with a shared future for mankind, and a declaration of peace that looks to the future, according to local newspaper Shenyang Daily. Participants actively exchanged views on thematic issues and answered questions from the media.
Eighty years ago, the Chinese people, shoulder to shoulder with other peoples of the world, won a great victory in the anti-fascist war. Shenyang has always regarded it as its important mission to spread the ideals of peace and preserve the spirit of the war of resistance, passing on from generation to generation the deep-rooted belief in peace.
Su Xiaohui, deputy director of the US studies department at the China Institute of International Studies, said that consensual cooperation among the international community is needed to maintain the post-war world order. China, as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, calls on more countries to pay attention to contemporary global challenges and take the path of peace even further.
According to her, the SCO plays a key role in ensuring international security. The countries have a common divisor in interests. China is actively developing a deep partnership for the sake of peace and hopes that SCO members and other partners of the international community will move towards each other with it.
Professor Li Dong of the School of Humanities of Liaoning University noted that Shenyang has a significant set of national-level relics related to the war of resistance and rich "red" resources. "Based on this profound historical and cultural heritage, Shenyang should spread its stories to the world, honor the great victory and strive for peace and prosperity together with all peace-loving countries and peoples."
Professor Cui Zheng, director of the Center for Russian, East European and Central Asian Studies at Liaoning University, stressed that as the starting point of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Shenyang has great potential for cooperation with Russian cities in preserving the historical legacy of World War II. -0-
