China will hold a ceremony to commemorate the 60th anniversary of its victory against Japanese invaders, according to a notice issued on Saturday.
The ceremony will feature a large commemorative exhibition and a seminar. All overseas patriots, generals and soldiers who fought in the war are invited to attend, along with their families. The notice did not say when the ceremony would be held.
China will screen commemorative movies and TV series, print publications and issue stamps and coins in memory of the victory, the notice said.
China's eight-year Anti-Japanese War was an important part of the world's war against fascism, and the Chinese people made tremendous sacrifices and contributions to the defeat of fascist forces, the notice said.
The Communist Party of China played a central part in uniting the nation to fight the war, said the notice, adding that the commemorative activities will be aimed at motivating Chinese both at home and abroad to strive for China's rejuvenation and world peace.
