意大利戈里齐亚市文化大使戴维·奥尔赞日前在接受新华社记者专访时表示，中国人民长达14年的抗日 战争极大牵制了日本法西斯，为世界反法西斯战争胜利作出巨大贡献，中国所作的牺牲应当被全世界铭 记。 奥尔赞说，中国人民抗日战争是世界反法西斯战争的重要组成部分，中国抗战不仅打击了日本侵略者的 嚣张气焰，还为其他反法西斯盟国争取到宝贵的缓冲时间，为世界反法西斯战争的胜利作出巨大贡献。 戈里齐亚位于意大利东北部与斯洛文尼亚接壤地带，历史上多次成为战争焦点，在二战中沦为纳粹德国 控制区。"从1943年意大利投降到1945年二战结束，这里被纳粹德国控制，见证了无数暴行与苦难。"奥 尔赞说。他还提到与戈里齐亚相距不远的城市的里雅斯特，那里曾设立配备毒气室的灭绝集中营，5000 余名游击队员、反法西斯人士和犹太人在集中营遇害。 在奥尔赞看来，近年来多边主义遭遇挑战，大国关系日趋紧张，全球局势不稳，"我们必须对此保持高 度警觉"。 曾多次到访中国的奥尔赞高度评价中国为推动世界和平发展所作的努力。他说，中国的和平发展不仅为 世界经济发展注入活力，维护多边主义，中国还致力于促进各方对话沟通，"在全球局势愈发紧张的当 前，这些做法值得全世 ...
