===
The year 2005 marks the 60th anniversary of the victories of the
Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the
World Anti-Fascist War. The war of aggression launched by fascists and
militarists brought about untold sufferings to the world and wreaked
unprecedented havoc on human civilization. The world people won
victories and peace with their blood and lives.
The year 2005 also marks the 60th anniversary of the founding of the
United Nations (UN), the most universal, representative and
authoritative inter-governmental international organization in the
world. The establishment of the UN has embodied the aspiration of
peoples around the world for building a new world of peace, equality,
cooperation and prosperity. The UN, over the past 60 years, has worked
unremittingly for and played an im****tant role in easing conflicts,
promoting disarmament, safeguarding peace and boosting development.
The Chinese nation loves peace and advocates that nothing is more
valuable than peace and all nations should live in peace and harmony.
Subjected to untold external aggression and suppression in its modern
history, China fully understands how precious peace is. At present, the
Chinese people are concentrating on development and nation-building
along a road of peaceful development. China needs a long-lasting and
stable international environment of peace for her development, which,
in turn, will promote world peace and progress. China, holding high the
banner of peace, development and cooperation, will remain committed to
pu****ng forward the process of international arms control, disarmament
and non-proliferation. China will never seek hegemony and will remain
forever a staunch force for safeguarding world peace and promoting
common development.
