On the morning of March 3, central and state organs, as well as people's organizations, organized a large number of cadres and staff to watch the live broadcast of the conference commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War through various forms such as television and the internet.

The speech was visionary, powerful, and inspiring.
"In this arduous and great war, the Chinese people achieved the first complete victory against foreign invasion in modern times, realizing the historic turning point of the Chinese nation's transition from suffering to glory and from decline to rejuvenation." Officials from the Central Social Work Department, Ministry of Public Security, and Ministry of Finance stated that the great victory of the Chinese people's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression effectively safeguarded national sovereignty and territorial integrity, reestablished China's status as a major power in the world, and earned the Chinese nation a lofty national reputation.
The river flows out of Kunlun and divides the nine provinces, standing firm as a pillar in the middle of the stream. The staff and cadres of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and National Supervisory Commission, the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, and the Supreme People's Procuratorate believe that during the nation's perilous times, the Communist Party of China, with its outstanding political leadership and correct strategic strategies, advocated the establishment of an anti-Japanese national united front, charting the course for China's resistance. Building on the victory of the War of Resistance against Japan, the Party led the people to continue their struggle, achieving globally recognized developmental accomplishments and propelling the Chinese nation to realize the great leap from standing up, becoming prosperous, to growing strong.
At the solemn military parade, the People's Army marched with unstoppable momentum and resolute steps, showcasing the formidable might of a modernized force. Officials from the Ministry of State Security, Ministry of Transport, and Ministry of Veterans Affairs affirmed that the People's Army, having weathered countless battles and overcome numerous obstacles, remains an unwavering hero unit fully trusted by the Party and the people. Under the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China, it will continue to bolster the "Fuxing" high-speed train's journey toward a brighter future, propelling it through turbulent waves with modernized national defense and military capabilities.
The echoes of history foreshadow the future. To realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we must unswervingly uphold and strengthen the leadership of the Party.
Officials and staff members of central and state organs as well as people's organizations have expressed their determination to deeply understand the decisive significance of the "Two Establishments," resolutely implement the "Two Upholds," unswervingly follow the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, fully leverage the Party's role as the core leadership that oversees the overall situation and coordinates all parties, and promote the steady and far-reaching progress of the modernization drive with Chinese characteristics.
Adhere to the path of peaceful development
As General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out, "The destinies of mankind are closely linked. Only when all countries and nations treat each other as equals, live in harmony and help each other can we safeguard common security, eliminate the root causes of war and prevent history from repeating itself."
Officials from the International Liaison Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Ministry of Commerce reaffirmed that adhering to the path of peaceful development represents both a profound summation of historical lessons and a solemn commitment to global communities. As humanity confronts new choices between peace and war, dialogue and confrontation, mutual benefit and zero-sum games, we must uphold President Xi Jinping's vision: steadfastly safeguard world tranquility, stand firmly on the side of history's progress and human civilization advancement, implement the Global Development Initiative, Global Security Initiative, Global Civilization Initiative, and Global Governance Initiative.

As we look back on those tumultuous years at this historic moment marking the 80th anniversary of the victory in the War of Resistance, we are more convinced than ever that the iron law of history remains unshakable: light will surely dispel darkness, and justice will ultimately triumph over evil. We must uphold the correct historical perspective on World War II, resolutely safeguard the fruits of the war's victory, courageously shoulder our responsibilities, and steadfastly follow the righteous path.
Officials from the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the People's Bank of China (PBOC) emphasized that in the face of global anti-globalization and protectionism, we must steadfastly advance high-quality development and open-up at a higher level.

Officials from the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Ministry of Emergency Management emphasized the need to remain vigilant against "black swans" while maintaining vigilance against "gray rhinos." They stressed the importance of adhering to a bottom-line mindset, continuously enhancing scientific predictions of potential risks, taking proactive measures, and making decisive moves to overcome all obstacles and challenges on the path forward.
Officials from the Supreme People's Court, Ministry of Justice, and Ministry of Ecology and Environment emphasize the need to fully grasp the essential requirements of Chinese-style modernization. Guided by the holistic approach to national security, they advocate for better coordination between high-quality development and robust security frameworks. By comprehensively strengthening economic, technological, and ecological infrastructure, China aims to fortify its national security defenses. This demonstrates the nation's commitment as a major power, injecting stability into a world fraught with uncertainties while making greater contributions to global peace and development.
