The importance of global cooperation for peace to prevail was highlighted at a concert by the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra marking the UN’s 70th anniversary.

The concert in New York is one of many events being organized this year to mark the end of the Second World War in 1945 and the founding of the UN later that year.

The UN Secretary-General arrived in China on Wednesday to take part in the commemorative events.
