The Chinese government also invited heads of parliaments, deputy prime ministers, high-level representatives and former dignitaries of foreign countries as well as heads of international organizations to the event.

Foreign diplomats, military attaches, representatives of international organizations stationed in China, friends of China who contributed to the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression or their relatives are also present in the event.

China was the first to fight against fascist aggression and sustained the longest resistance. In the 14-year-long war, Chinese casualties exceeded 35 million. With huge national sacrifice, the Chinese people held ground in the main theater in the East of the World Anti-Fascist War.

Japan surrendered on Sept 2, 1945, signing the Instrument of Surrender to China and other Allied powers. China celebrated the victory the following day. In 2014, the country legislated to designate Sept 3 as the Victory Day of its War of Resistance.
