China held a grand gathering in Beijing's Tian'anmen Square on Wednesday to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.

President Xi Jinping delivered a speech and oversaw a military parade which proceeded in two steps: a military review by Xi and a march-past of troops.

A total of 61 foreign heads of state and government, high-level representatives of relevant countries, heads of international organizations and former political dignitaries were present at the commemorative event.

Before the beginning of the gathering, Xi ascended the Tian'anmen rostrum and shook hands with war veterans attending the event.

Standing beside Xi on the Tian'anmen Rostrum were Russian President #VladimirPutin and #KimJongUn, top leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, along with more than 20 other foreign leaders.
