BEIJING, May 12 -- China has completed the construction of a memorial stone at the former barracks of the Korean Liberation Army in the northwestern Chinese city of Xi'an.

"A great number of Koreans came to China during China's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and fought side-by-side with the Chinese against the Japanese imperialistic invasion," said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying on Monday.

The monument of the Korean Liberation Army's main base was built in accordance with Chinese regulations regarding the construction of memorials for foreigners, she said.

The project will be unveiled soon, the spokeswoman said.

When asked about what reactions Japan will have to the monument, Hua said that it should be treated in a calm way.

"Every country, every nation and every individual should remember history to better face up to the future," Hua added.
