Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico called China's V-Day parade "impressive" and hailed President Xi Jinping as a "fighter for peace" during his visit to Beijing this week. The two leaders met ahead of commemorations marking the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
A Meeting Focused on Peace
"We discussed, first of all, peace, peace and peace," Fico emphasized during a speech at the Slovak Embassy. His remarks highlighted growing diplomatic ties between China and Central European nations, with youth-driven initiatives increasingly shaping global dialogue.
Commemorating History, Shaping the Future
The anniversary events – blending military displays with cultural symbolism – aim to honor historical sacrifices while promoting modern multilateral cooperation. Fico's visit underscores Slovakia's interest in strengthening economic and political partnerships amid shifting global dynamics.
As Gen Z reshapes international relations through digital activism, events like these bridge historical legacy with 21st-century diplomacy. 🌏✨
