2020年9月3日，駐尼泊爾大使侯豔琪在尼主流媒體《共和報》（英文）、《新報》（尼文）發表署名文章《以歷史照亮未來，讓和平永駐人間》，紀念中國人民抗日戰爭暨世界反法西斯戰爭勝利75周年。文章中英文全文如下：
今年是中國人民抗日戰爭暨世界反法西斯戰爭勝利75周年。中國人民抗日戰爭是世界反法西斯戰爭的重要組成部分，中國戰場是世界反法西斯戰爭的東方主戰場，為贏得世界反法西斯戰爭勝利做出了歷史性貢獻。
第二次世界大戰是人類歷史上一場空前浩劫，戰火遍及亞洲、歐洲、非洲、大洋洲，包括中國、尼泊爾等在內的80多個國家和地區、約20億人口捲入其中，軍隊和民眾傷亡超過1億人。為了二戰的勝利，中國付出了巨大犧牲，軍民死傷超過3500萬人，直接和間接經濟損失6000億美元。世界反法西斯的勝利已經為人類贏得了75年的和平與發展。習近平主席曾說過：「戰爭是一面鏡子，能夠讓人更好認識和平的珍貴。」 和平猶如空氣和陽光，受益而不覺，失之則難存。每個國家都應該肩負起應有的責任，共同努力維護二戰勝利成果，維護比金子還珍貴的和平時光。
中華民族歷來愛好和平，五千年文明孕育的中國從來沒有侵略擴張的基因。中國人民對戰爭帶來的苦難有著刻骨銘心的記憶，十分珍惜和平安定的生活。中國即將全面建成小康社會，並開啟全面建設社會主義現代化國家新徵程，也需要一個和平安寧的國際環境。國強必霸的陳舊邏輯對中國並不適用。中國已將堅持自身和平發展載入憲法，成為世界上第一個做出這一莊重承諾的國家。無論發展到哪一步，中國都將堅持在和平共處五項原則基礎上走和平發展道路，同各國人民友好相處，永遠不稱霸、永遠不搞擴張，永遠是維護世界和平的中堅力量。
今年也是聯合國成立75周年。作為世界反法西斯戰爭勝利的重要成果，國際社會攜手創建了以聯合國為核心、以《聯合國憲章》宗旨和原則為基礎的國際秩序和國際體系，掀開了國際關係史上新篇章。75年來，我們秉持和平與發展的時代主題，努力構建和平友好、相互尊重、公平正義的新型國際關係，全球化的浪潮遍及世界各地，全人類在經濟、文化、社會等各個領域實現了前所未有的大發展。不幸的是，有個別國家和勢力偏要逆世界潮流而動，固守冷戰思維，奉行本國優先，試圖搞政治認同和陣營對抗的老一套。二戰的慘痛經驗告訴我們，強權獨霸不是和平之策，零和博弈不是發展之路。只有加強國際合作，實現互利共贏，才是最符合各國人民意願和時代發展潮流的正確選擇。
當前，新冠肺炎疫情在全球肆虐，氣候變化、貧窮和飢餓等全球性問題依然困擾著我們，各種傳統安全和非傳統安全問題複雜交織。在全球化時代，各國命運相連、休戚相關，沒有任何一個國家能夠獨善其身，獨自應對這些挑戰，只有構建人類命運共同體才是發展進步的唯一正確方向。我們應該繼承和發揚世界反法西斯戰爭精神，摒棄意識形態分歧，拿起團結合作這個最有力的武器，攜手並肩戰勝這些人類共同的敵人，維護全人類生存權、發展權等基本權利。
歷史無法重來，未來可以開創。站在新的歷史起點上，讓我們以紀念中國人民抗日戰爭暨世界反法西斯戰爭的偉大勝利為契機，攜手努力，並肩前行，共同開創人類和平與繁榮的美好未來！
Aggression and expansion have never been China’s aspiration
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against the Japanese Aggression and The World Anti-Fascist War. The Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression was an important part of the World Anti-Fascist War. The Chinese people held ground in the main theater in the East of the World Anti-Fascist War, thus making a major historic contribution to its victory.
World War II left mankind with unprecedented calamity, more than 80 countries and regions, including China and Nepal, and around 2 billion people were involved in the war. Ravaging through Asia, Europe, Africa and the Oceania, that war inflicted over 100 million military and civilian casualties. China has made great sacrifices for the victory in World War II. More than 35 million soldiers and civilians were killed or injured, and the direct and indirect economic losses reached 600 billion US dollars. The victory of the World Anti-Fascist War has won 75 years of peace and development for mankind.
President Xi Jinping once said: 「War is like a mirror, looking at it helps us better appreciate the value of peace.」 Peace, like air and sunshine, is hardly noticed when people are benefiting from it. But none of us can live without it. Every country should shoulder due responsibilities and work together to safeguard the achievements of World War II and safeguard peace, something that is even more precious than gold.
Chinese people love peace. Aggression and expansion have never been in the genes of the Chinese nation throughout its 5,000-year-old history. The Chinese people have an unforgettable memory of the sufferings caused by wars, and highly cherish a peaceful and stable life. China has come to achieve its goal of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and will be embarking on a journey to achieve the goal of building China into a modern socialist country, both of which would require a peaceful international environment. The outdated view that power would invariably lead to hegemony does not apply to China. We have enshrined our commitment to peaceful development in our constitution, and China is the first country in the world to make such a solemn pledge. No matter how stronger it may become, China will always adhere to the path of peaceful development and maintain friendly relations with all other countries on the basis of Five Principles of Peaceful coexistence. China will never seek hegemony or expansion, and will continue to be a staunch force for peace in the world.
This year also marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. As an important achievement of the World's Anti-Fascist War, the international community established the international order and system with the United Nations as its core. The purpose and principles of the UN Charter opened a new chapter in the history of international relations. In the past 75 years, we committed to peace and development, two themes of the time and actively promoted building a new type of international relations, featuring mutual respect, fairness, justice and win-win cooperation.
The tide of globalization has swept away every corner of the world, and human beings have achieved unprecedented progress in economy, society, culture and so on. But unfortunately, some individual countries and forces go against the trend of history and stick to the Cold War mentality by putting their own interests first and resort to the old tricks of identity politics and bloc rivalry. The bitter lessons drawn from World War II have taught us that hegemonic policies and zero-sum game do not benefit peace or development of mankind. To meet the aspirations of people all over the world and comply with the trend of times, the only right choice is to strengthen international cooperation and opt for mutual benefit.
Nowadays, the COVID-19 pandemic is spreading around the world. Climate change, hunger, poverty and other global problems pose major problems while traditional and non-traditional security challenges are intertwined. In this age of globalization, the futures of countries are closely interlinked. No country can insulate it from or tackle alone all these challenges. Building a community with a shared future for mankind is the only right way to go. We should carry forward the spirit of the World Anti-Fascist War, preclude the ideological differences, use solidarity and cooperation as our most powerful weapons to jointly defeat those common enemies of human beings, and safeguard the basic rights, including the right to subsistence and development of the people.
History cannot start all over again, but the future can be created. Standing at a new starting point of history, let’s take the opportunity to commemorate the glorious victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and The World Anti-Fascist War, work together and forge ahead side by side to deliver a peaceful and prosperous future for mankind.
