China and Russia will continue promoting the “correct view” of World War II history, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said. He emphasized both nations' sacrifices in defeating fascism and vowed to defend the global order led by the UN. Wang hailed China-Russia ties as “tenacious” and not influenced by external forces.
