China will attend the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Soviet Patriotic War and visit Russia

On May 4th, the Chinese Foreign Ministry announced that at the invitation of Russian President Vladimir Putin, China will pay a state visit to Russia from May 7th to 10th, and attend the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Soviet Patriotic War held in Moscow.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov revealed as early as February this year that Putin will also visit China at the end of August and early September to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II and the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

A few comments: 2025 is a year of great significance. It marks the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Soviet Patriotic War and the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. Looking back at World War II, China and Russia, as the core forces on the main battlefields in Asia and Europe, dedicated everything to the victory of the world's anti-fascist war. The Soviet Red Army fought tenaciously in the brutal Patriotic War, suffering heavy casualties; the Chinese people fought bravely for 14 years during the Anti-Japanese War, tying down large numbers of Japanese troops, and made immortal contributions to world peace. Both countries sacrificed countless military personnel and civilians and suffered severe damage to infrastructure, with their economic development also suffering serious setbacks.

This visit by China to participate in the celebration is of great significance. It is a solemn respect and remembrance of history, and a deep tribute to the martyrs who sacrificed themselves in the war. The martyrs have paid with their blood and lives for peace, and their deeds and spirits must not be forgotten. At the same time, it demonstrates the firm determination of both China and Russia to jointly uphold the fruits of victory in World War II and the post-war international order. In today's ever-changing international situation, unilateralism and bullying behavior occasionally appear, and some forces attempt to distort and rewrite the history of World War II, challenging the post-war international order. By standing together, China and Russia want to show the world that history cannot be desecrated, and justice must be defended.
