september 3rd marks the 79th anniversary of the victory of the chinese people’s war of resistance against japanese aggression and the world anti-fascist war.

the ukrainian embassy in japan announced on the social platform x that on september 3rd local time, ukrainian ambassador to japan kosensky visited the yasukuni shrine.

the ukrainian embassy in japan also falsely claimed that it was "paying tribute to the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for their country."

my country's ministry of foreign affairs has repeatedly stressed that the yasukuni shrine is a spiritual tool and symbol of japanese militarism's foreign war of aggression, and that it enshrines class a war criminals of world war ii.

on august 15, regarding the visit of several japanese officials to the yasukuni shrine on the same day, foreign ministry spokesperson lin jian pointed out that 79 years ago today, japan accepted the potsdam declaration and announced its unconditional surrender. the chinese people, together with the people of the world, defeated the japanese militarist invaders and fascism, and achieved a great victory of justice over evil, light over darkness, and progress over reaction. this historic moment deserves to be remembered forever by the international community.

the actions of some japanese politicians on the yasukuni shrine issue once again reflect japan's wrong attitude towards historical issues. china has lodged solemn representations with japan and expressed its solemn position.

correctly dealing with and deeply reflecting on the history of aggression is an important prerequisite for japan to establish and develop friendly and cooperative relations with its asian neighbors after the war. we emphasize that remembering historical experiences and lessons is not to perpetuate hatred, but to learn from history, maintain peace, and look to the future. china urges japan to earnestly abide by its statements and commitments to face up to and reflect on its history of aggression, be prudent in words and deeds on historical issues such as the yasukuni shrine, completely cut ties with militarism, adhere to the path of peaceful development, and win the trust of its asian neighbors and the international community with practical actions.
