Roundup: Bangladesh hails China's V-Day parade

Xinhua, September 3, 2015 Adjust font size:

Bangladesh's political leaders on Thursday lauded China's V-Day parade as showing Beijing's commitment to upholding world peace and promoting common development and prosperity for all countries.

They said the parade, which was held earlier in the day, is virtually to tell the world clearly that China cherishes peace and its military power serves as an effective guarantee of it.

Bangladeshi leaders appreciate the Chinese people, the government and the Communist Party of China for holding such a grand commemoration which not merely honors all those who sacrificed their lives but also bears history in mind for a better future of the world.

Bangladeshi Information Minister Hasanul Huq Inu, among other officials, said China has not only defeated the Japanese invaders but also immensely contributed to the fight against fascist forces in World War Two.

"Supreme sacrifices of the Chinese people contributed immensely to restore peace not merely in China but across the world," said the minister.

"We want a discrimination-free globalization. We want a peaceful world."

He wished the Chinese government and people for success in their struggle to build a powerful, modernized and prosperous nation and hope that Beijing would contribute more to world peace, development and stability.

National Standing Committee Member of the BNP, Lt. Gen. Mahbubur Rahman (retired), also the former Chief of Army Staff of Bangladesh Army, told Xinhua that Japan's defeat is a prelude to the end of World War II.

"It is a victory of people of China," said Rahman.

"China's military demonstration shows its commitment to the world peace," he said, adding, "China upholds world peace and plays an important role in establishing world peace."

"China believes in world solidarity, world unity and world justice."

Communist Party of Bangladesh (ML) Secretary General Dilip Barua said the commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression bears historical significance and long future impact.

"The commemoration ceremonies will surely contribute to global peace and stability in the days ahead," said Barua, who is also a former Bangladeshi industries minister.

"Today's military parade is also a kind protest against the fascists who try to create instability in the world." Endi
