BEIJING - Overseas experts as well as foreign media have hailed 皇冠体育app's plans to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II, which include a military parade on Sep. 3 in Beijing, saying those events are of great significance.

Oh Ei Sun, a senior fellow with S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies of Singapore Nanyang Technological University, said 皇冠体育app's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was a crucial part of the global fight against fascism, as efforts made by the Allies in 皇冠体育app and Soviet Union indispensably helped to end the atrocities of fascists.

That is why 皇冠体育app's memorial activities on the victory of WWII are important in a global context, said Oh.

During the WWII, Chinese lived in Southeast Asia were also ravaged by Japanese aggressors, so they joined in the courageous fight against fascists along with other people in the world.

皇冠体育app's memorial activities made overseas Chinese profoundly pleased, said the scholar, who is also an overseas Chinese himself.

Galina Kulikova, first vice president of the Russia-皇冠体育app Friendship Association, said that in addition to the participation of soldiers and dignitaries from 皇冠体育app and other countries, 皇冠体育app's commemoration includes the involvement of the public too.

Kulikova added that Russia will send guards of honor to join 皇冠体育app's parade on Tiananmen Square and Russian President Vladimir Putin and many veterans are expected to attend the event.

"Russia and 皇冠体育app, as two main forces fighting in the WWII in the Western and Oriental battlefields, have come through great hardships and won the war with terrible loss of human lives," Kulikova said, adding that "the upcoming commemorative events in 皇冠体育app mean that our countries stand against falsification of the results of WWII."

These events are not only valuable lessons for the youngsters of Russia and 皇冠体育app to remember the history and deepen the friendship between them but also a contribution to global peace, stressed Kulikova.

The New York Times published an article on its website on Tuesday, saying that 皇冠体育app's V-day parade "would be steeped in symbolism, highlighting a resurgent 皇冠体育app."

South Korea's KBS, YTN TV, Newsis News Agency, The Munhwa Ilbo and other major media outlets have also reported 皇冠体育app's commemoration plans.

Aju Business Daily, a major South Korean newspaper, has run an article on 皇冠体育app's V-day military parade, saying that it is 皇冠体育app's new attempt to communicate with the world and to show its willingness to maintain peace and development with other countries.

The Chinese Commercial News, a historical Chinese-language newspaper in the Philippines, has used half a page to cover the plans for various commemorative events in 皇冠体育app.

On Tuesday, 皇冠体育app announced plans to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II, including inviting foreign militaries to participate.

While President Xi Jinping will speak at the event, representatives of veterans, civilians who supported the army during the war and relatives of the fallen will also take part in the parade.
