    Hundreds of experts and scholars from the United States, Russia, Taiwan and other countries and regions attended the meeting, discussing three topics, namely "World War II and the postwar international order" ,"postwar order and international law" ,"territorial and maritime disputes". The participants focused on the hot issues such as the role of China's anti-Japanese War in the world anti-fascist war, the construction of post World War  international order, colonialism and territorial maritime disputes in Asia, the control and solution of territorial maritime disputes. The scholars believed that China, as the main battlefield of the anti-fascist World War II in the East, sacrificed a lot for the world in order to fight against fascism, and contributed tremendously to the founding of the United Nations. The territorial and maritime disputes facing Asian countries were resulted from colonial expansion, which were left over issues from the World War II, the parties concerned should settle the disputes through friendly consultations and peaceful collaboration, and the dispute should not affect the overall relations between countries, nor affect peace, stability and development in the region and the world as a whole.
