At a special solemn meeting at the United Nations General Assembly, Chinese ambassador Fu Cong delivered a passionate speech to honor the victims of World War II and mark the 80th anniversary of the war's end. Fu Cong highlighted China's key role in resisting Japanese militarism in the Oriental theater, a battle that cost over 35 million lives, and emphasized that history should be remembered accurately. 😊
He warned that in today’s turbulent world—where unilateralism and bullying are on the rise—any effort to downplay or distort the events of WWII undermines our shared past and betrays human values. Fu Cong called for a joint stand to promote a correct understanding of history and to uphold a UN-centered international system based on international law and a rules-based multilateral trading framework.
This reaffirmation of historical truth and international cooperation serves as a reminder that honoring our past can guide us toward a more united and peaceful future. Let’s keep history alive and learn its lessons for a better tomorrow! 🌏✌️
