In his address on behalf of the CPC Central Committee and the CMC, Xi said that the Chinese movement 60 years ago was a great and just war for safeguarding peace and resisting aggression. It was also a great victory gained by the united combat forces of Chinas and the DPRKs civilians and soldiers, and a great victory in the pursuit of world peace and human progress, Xi said. Xi said the Chinese people would never forget the great contribution and sacrifice made by the nations founders and, in particular, the people who made history during a war that saw the weak defeating the strong.

Xi also acknowledged the former Soviet Unions government and people who provided help to the volunteer army. Chinese ground forces, under the CPV, entered the Korean Peninsula on Oct 19, 1950, to defend their own territory and to help the Korean Peoples Army (KPA) against Syngman Rhees troops and multinational forces assembled in the name of the United Nations. The CPV launched its first battle on Oct 25 against a battalion of Syngman Rhees troops. In 1951, the CPC Central Committee decided to commemorate the war every year on that date. Xi said being peace-loving is a tradition of the Chinese nation and its participation in the war 60 years ago was a historical decision made by the CPC Central Committee and the late Chairman Mao Zedong based on serious national security threats and a request from the DPRKs Korean Workers Party and government. The heroism and international spirit demonstrated by the CPV in the nearly three-year battle as they fought side-by-side with the DPRK army and people will forever be treasured by the Chinese people, Xi said. CMC vice chairman Xu Caihou and other CMC members also attended the symposium. CMC vice chairman Guo Boxiong, leading a senior military delegation, was visiting the DPRK on Monday for the commemoration.
