CGTN America and CCTV UN Celebrate World Peace at "Echoes of Peace" Event Marking 80 Years Post-WWII

Echoes of Peace: Commemorating 80 Years of Peace

On August 13, 2025, CGTN America and CCTV UN will present the remarkable event titled "Echoes of Peace" in New York City. This event is not just a celebration; it serves as a profound commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II and the founding of the United Nations. With the involvement of international delegations, veterans, and unique multimedia experiences, the event promises to evoke deep reflections on past struggles and hopeful aspirations for a peaceful future.

The event will kick off at 8:00 PM (Eastern Time) at the United Nations Headquarters. Delegations from around 30 countries will gather, including UN officials, WWII veterans, and diplomats. Such representation highlights the global unity in recognizing the sacrifices made for peace and the continuous commitment needed to maintain it.

Notable speakers from China, the United States, and the United Nations will share their insights and experiences related to the theme of peace. Music will play a significant role, with poignant performances including "Tennessee" from the film Pearl Harbor, a piece that encapsulates the bittersweet nature of love amid war. A special tribute entitled “Flowers of Peace” will also be performed, symbolizing hope and the triumph of the human spirit over adversity.

One of the event's highlights will be a stunning projection on the side of the UN Secretariat building. This visual narrative will recount the journey of the world towards peace and the establishment of the United Nations, reminding us of the vision shared by the international community post-World War II. The UN Headquarters, inaugurated in 1951, remains a symbol of global cooperation, advocating for peace and upholding the principles set forth in the UN Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Presented by China Media Group, "Echoes of Peace" emphasizes the ongoing importance of the United Nations in fostering global peace and cooperation. In an era rife with challenges, this event serves as a vital reminder of our shared responsibility to uphold the values of peace and resilience.

As attendees prepare for a night filled with remembrance and celebration, the event reflects a commitment to learning from the past while building a future grounded in harmony. The legacy of those who fought for peace stands as an enduring commitment, and through events like "Echoes of Peace," we continue to honor their sacrifices and strive towards a united world.

Together, through this cultural exchange, we will not only commemorate history but also inspire action towards a more peaceful and interconnected future.
