China will invite militaries of relevant countries to participate in a parade later this year, a defense ministry spokesman said on Thursday.

"As this year is the 70th anniversary of the victory of World War II and China"s victory in the Chinese People"s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, China will hold a military parade in Beijing in September this year," Spokesman Geng Yansheng said at a monthly press briefing.

Geng said the Chinese military will, in accordance with international norms, sent invitations to the militaries of countries that fought in the Chinese People"s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and on the anti-Fascist battlefield in the eastern theater, as well as other related countries.

The purpose of the military parade is to highlight China"s firm stance to safeguard, together with all nations in the world, the outcomes of World War II as well as world peace and tranquility in pursuit of a more beautiful future for all human beings.
