Foreign Minister Wang Yi has stated that China and Russia will defend the international system established after the global conflict.
Wang emphasized the commitment of both nations to uphold the historical truth of World War II, praising their friendship as “a constant in a turbulent world.” During a press conference on Friday, he highlighted the significant contributions and sacrifices made by both countries for the victory in the World Anti-Fascist War.
He pointed out that 2025 will mark the 80th anniversary of the end of WWII, which presents an opportunity for China and Russia to “promote the correct view of the history” of the conflict, defend its outcomes, 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.”
In addition, Wang described the relationship between China and Russia as “mature, tenacious, and stable,” asserting that 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.”
Recently, Russian officials announced that Chinese President Xi Jinping is set to attend the Victory Day parade in Moscow on May 9, marking his first appearance at this event in a decade.
Russia has voiced concerns over what it perceives as historical revisionism, with President Vladimir Putin accusing the West of “distorting history,” especially concerning the Soviet Union’s role in defeating Nazi Germany. Additionally, Russia has raised alarms about the rise of Nazi ideology in several countries, including Ukraine and some EU and NATO member states, asserting that a primary objective in the Ukraine conflict is the “denazification” of the neighboring nation.
