“On September 3, President Xi Jinping exchanged congratulatory messages with Russian President Putin on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the victory in the world anti-fascist war,” the statement said.
The PRC leader announced his intention to deepen relations with Moscow, to defend the results of World War II and a fair international order.
In his message, Putin noted the importance of countering any attempts to distort history and embellish the Nazis, militarists and their accomplices.
Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense declassified documents on the end of World War II.
On September 1, during the All-Russian Open Lesson, Putin said that those who agree with the initiators of the rewriting of history can be called today's collaborators.
