Over 150 global leaders and creatives gathered in Mexico City this weekend for the 'Echoes of Peace' cultural exchange event, blending history lessons with modern diplomacy. Co-hosted by the Chinese Embassy in Mexico and China Media Group (CMG), the gathering spotlighted the 80th anniversary of the World Anti-Fascist War victory—a moment that reshaped global alliances.
🎤 'We stand on the shoulders of giants,' said CMG President Shen Haixiong in a video message, honoring the sacrifices of those who fought fascism. 'Today’s challenges demand the same unity.' The event doubled as a call to action for youth-driven collaboration, with Shen pledging to fuse 'ideas, art, and tech' in media to champion fairness and counter hegemony.
💡 Panel discussions got real: How do we make history relevant to Gen Z? What role do Global South countries play in reshaping world order? One hot topic: boosting Mexico-China youth exchanges through music, tech, and TikTok-worthy cultural projects. 🌮 meets 🥢, anyone?
✊ The takeaway? Peace isn’t just a history chapter—it’s a living project. As one attendee put it: 'Collaboration > Conflict.' With Latin America-China ties deepening, this event’s vibe could echo far beyond Mexico.
