Russian President Vladimir Putin says he expects Chinese President Xi Jinping to visit Moscow for the celebration on May 9.
Putin made the statement in Moscow when meeting a delegation from the Chinese Communist Party central committee. He says the joint celebrations will help safeguard world peace against attempts to distort history and glorify invaders.
China and Russia were two main battlefields in Asia and Europe during the Second World War. The countries made enormous contributions to the victory in the Anti-Fascist War. The two countries have decided to celebrate the victory in both countries to commemorate martyrs, remember history, and safeguard world peace.
In the past two years, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Putin have met many times, reaching a series of important agreements. The meetings and consensus have strengthened the comprehensive strategic partnership and bilateral cooperation in all spheres.

Teachers from Shanghai have given lectures in a primary school in London. It's part of a cultural exchange program between teachers in Shanghai and the U.K.
Lin Lei, a math teacher from a renowned primary school in Shanghai, gave her first lecture, and found the students were very self-confident and willing to learn. She was impressed by the students' enthusiasm for interaction with the teacher in class. She especially appreciated their attitude of not caring too much about their own performance during the interaction.
However, she commented that British students' calculation methods are very different from what she and her colleagues use back home; and the children's calculation speed is slower.
The students in the school were very interested in the new calculation method she taught them, and hoped they can learn more.
Lin and other teachers went to Britain last month for the 4-week exchange program. In November last year, the first batch of 30 math teachers from Shanghai traveled to the U.K. for the program.
Meanwhile, British secondary school teachers were sent to Shanghai, with the next group planning to follow in September.
