Older news from 2010 however still never to late to pay our respect to our Russian friends.
President Hu Jintao met Saturday with some Russian soldiers who helped China battle Japanese aggressor troops in the World Anti-Fascist War, and called for further strengthening of China-Russia ties.
Hu arrived here Saturday to attend ceremonies marking the 65th anniversary of the Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War over Nazi Germany.
Hours after arriving, he met with a group of 20 Russian war veterans and thanked them for their assistance in fighting the Japanese invaders in northeast China in August 1945. He met 10 of the veterans in Moscow five years ago.
The Soviet Union fought 80 percent of the German Fascist forces on the European battleground at a cost of 27 million lives and immeasurable national wealth.
Meanwhile, China's Anti-Japanese War was an important part of the World Anti-Fascist War; China was the main battleground of this war.
At the crucial stage of China's war against Japan, the Soviet Red Army marched into the battleground in northeast China and joined the Chinese army and people, providing important assistance to China's ultimate victory.
During his meeting with the Russian veterans, Hu said the Chinese people would never forget the Soviet Red Army's contributions to the success of China's Anti-Japanese War.
Many Russian soldiers and citizens sacrificed their lives for the liberation of the Chinese people, he said.
Fighting together against the Fascists, the Chinese and Russian peoples forged a profound friendship, he added.
"The friendship cemented with blood and people's lives lays a solid foundation for the China-Russia strategic relations of cooperation and partnership," Hu said.
It would also ensure the friendship between the two peoples will last for generations, he said, urging the two peoples to cherish the hard-won peace.
Hu also called for a correct view of history, saying the Soviet Union and China's contributions to victory in the World Anti-Fascist War are "ironclad."
In addition, he called for strengthened strategic coordination between China and Russia in a complex and volatile international situation.
Hu urged the two countries to jointly propose a new security concept featuring mutual trust and benefit, as well as equality and cooperation.
Although World War II ended 65 years ago, one must never forget the painful lessons of the war, he said.
