On September 9, the Consulate General held a symposium to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. Around 50 attendees participated in the symposium.

Consul General Zhang Zhen elaborated on the significance of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and its connection to the World Anti-Fascist War. She pointed out that Taiwan’s return to China was a key outcome of WWII’s victory, as affirmed by the Cairo Declaration and Potsdam Proclamation, and highlighted the one-China principle from the UN to global consensus. She also recalled the shared history between China and the Philippines. She called for jointly safeguarding the postwar international order, as enshrined in the UN Charter, and working together to build a community with a shared future for mankind, in line with the ASEAN-China Strategic Partnership Vision.
