In a poignant tribute to historical reconciliation, the China Media Group (CMG) and the Permanent Mission of China to the United Nations co-hosted the "Echoes of Peace" cultural exchange at UN Headquarters in New York on August 13. The event marked the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, emphasizing cross-cultural dialogue and shared commitments to global stability.
CMG President Shen Haixiong underscored the initiative's mission in a video address, stating it aimed to "honor history while fostering mutual understanding." Permanent Representative of China to the UN Fu Cong highlighted the importance of preserving postwar multilateral frameworks, while UN Under-Secretary-General Melissa Fleming praised the event's role in bridging historical narratives.
Jeffrey Greene, Chairman of the Sino-American Aviation Heritage Foundation, drew attention to the wartime collaboration between U.S. and Chinese pilots, notably the Flying Tigers. Over 100 attendees—including diplomats from 30+ countries, UN officials, and descendants of Flying Tigers veterans—participated, symbolizing enduring international solidarity.
