    A U.S.-based advocacy group on Tuesday issued an statement, calling for efforts to have the type of cooperation between America and China forged during the World War II for the lofty cause of peace rekindled.[Special coverage]

    The appeal was issued by a non-profit organization on the Flying Tigers, a U.S. air squadron that helped the Chinese fight Japanese aggressors during World War II, on the occasion of commemorating the 70th anniversary of the victory of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the world anti- fascist war.

    Flying Tiger Historical Organization, as the advocacy group is known, is based in the U.S. state of California and dedicated to preserving U.S.-China shared heritage. It believed the special relationship forged between the two peoples of the U.S. and China, based on cooperation, understanding and sacrifice, eventually led to the victory of the world anti-fascist war and the defeat of the Japanese aggressors.

    "The shared history, sacrifices and heroism between the American and Chinese people must be emphasized. As a result, the Japanese aggressors were defeated," said the group. "The peace that was achieved then should always be cherished and be our ultimate goal."

    "For us today, history has cast the foundation for our continued friendship, cultural understanding, cooperation and most importantly trust. Let us hope that the leaders of both our great nations put forth a joint and continued effort until the special relationship is once again accomplished, " it said.

    The Flying Tigers, officially known as the American Volunteer Group of the Chinese Air Force, were formed in 1941, led by U.S. General Claire Lee Chennault to help China drive out invading Japanese troops.

    The Flying Tiger Historical Organization was founded in 2007 to help raise funds for the building of a heritage park honoring the Flying Tigers in Guilin, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The heritage park opened in March.
