China Media Group (CMG) held a cultural event "Echoes of Peace" in Nairobi on August 19 to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese people in the War of Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. The event attracted over 200 guests from the Kenyan government, media, academia and think tanks.
President of CMG Shen Haixiong in his video projection, reminded that "history is the best textbook" and only by recalling it is it possible to stand firmly on the side of peace, justice and future development.
The programme included a screening of Chinese films and documentaries, including the making of CGTN Africa, which emphasised the importance of the joint efforts for peace and the role of African soldiers during the Second World War.
Guests appreciated that these works bring a true view of history and recall the crucial but often overlooked contribution of the African people in the fight against fascism.
