Chinese Ambassador to South Korea Xing Haiming delivered a written speech to congratulate the seminar.
Xing Haiming said that the sparks of the two countries' striving for national independence and people's liberation shined on each other, and jointly wrote a glorious chapter in the history of the world anti-fascist war.
From Shanghai to Chongqing, from Harbin to Guangzhou, the footprints of South Korean independence activists are scattered all over China. It also records the selfless support of the Chinese government and people to the South Korean people.
Xing Haiming emphasized that although the smoke of war has passed, today's world is not peaceful, and the situation on the Korean Peninsula is also the same. Recently, the US House of Representatives' move to Taiwan has also caused tensions in the Taiwan Strait, and the sky over Northeast Asia is shrouded in "new Cold War" dark clouds.
China and the ROK are both victims of imperialist aggression and the Cold War, and we should maintain a high degree of vigilance.
China has always adhered to the path of peaceful development, and is willing to work with the ROK to promote the common values of peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy and freedom for all mankind, maintain the international order based on the UN Charter and genuine multilateralism, and uphold mutual benefits. While achieving a win-win situation, we should work together to maintain the overall situation of regional peace and stability, and jointly advance the cause of human progress.
Luo Cunkang, curator of the Memorial Hall of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, made a keynote speech online, introducing the collection of cultural relics and historical materials, the activation and utilization of cultural relics and historical materials, the collection of historical materials of the Korean Independence Movement, and the development of international exchanges and cooperation. The protection, management and utilization of historical materials, deepening international exchanges and cooperation, jointly carrying out research and exhibition interpretation on the history of World War II and the Sino-Korean joint war of resistance against Japan, put forward ways and directions for further exploration.
