China’s foreign minister, Wang Yi, has said that China and Russia will continue to uphold the historical truth of World War II.
He praised the historical friendship between the two nations as “a constant in a turbulent world.”
Speaking to the reporters here on Friday, Wang pointed out the importance of China and Russia’s roles in World War II, adding that both nations “paid huge national sacrifices for the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War and made significant historical contributions.”
The minister also mentioned that 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the end of WWII, presenting an opportunity for both countries to “promote the correct view of the history” of the war, as well as defend its results and “maintain the international system with the United Nations at its core and promote the development of the international order in a more just and reasonable direction.”
Wang hailed China-Russia relations, calling them “mature, tenacious, and stable.” The ties our nation has with Russia will not be deterred and will keep growing even during the difficult times.”
Wang added, “It will not change due to a single event, nor will it be interfered with by a third party. It is a constant in a turbulent world, not a variable in geopolitical games.”
Earlier in February, Russian officials confirmed that Chinese President Xi Jinping would attend the Victory Day Parade in Moscow on May 9 for the first time in ten years.
Russia has continuously sounded the alarm over what it believes is historical revisionism, with President Putin accusing the West of “distorting history,” particularly regarding the Soviet Union’s role in defeating Nazi Germany.
Russia has raised concerns over the resurgence of neo-Nazi ideology in various countries across Europe, including Ukraine.
Moscow has repeatedly said that one of its key objectives in the Ukraine conflict is the “denazification” of the neighbouring country.
