Tian Xuejun, Chinese Ambassador to South Africa, said in his speech that in recent years, the comprehensive strategic partnership between China and South Africa has been continuously deepened, cooperation in various fields has been fruitful, and media exchanges and cooperation between the two countries have also developed steadily. The launch of these three media cooperation projects marks that the cooperation between the media industries between China and South Africa and China and Africa has reached a new level, which is gratifying and worth looking forward to. He said that as witnesses of the times, the media in Central and South China have the responsibility and obligation to tell three stories: First, the Chinese story. What does China's development mean to the world? What kind of development path will China take and where will it go? These are issues of concern to many people in many countries around the world. It is hoped that through media reports, the international community can understand a real China, a China committed to peace, development, cooperation and win-win results. The second is the story of South Africa and the BRICS. China and South Africa are both members of the BRICS, and the development of the BRICS has attracted global attention. I hope the media will tell good stories about the development of South Africa and BRICS. The third is the story of cooperation between China, South Africa and China. Currently, China and Africa are working hard to promote the "six major cooperation projects" and cooperate to build the "three major networks" of African infrastructure. China-Africa cooperation will be further upgraded to better benefit the people of both sides. I hope the media will tell more wonderful stories about China-South Africa and China-Africa cooperation, so that China-South Africa and China-Africa friendship will be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Ren Qian, deputy editor-in-chief of
International Station, said at the launch ceremony that International Station, as a radio station that broadcasts to the world, has always attached great importance to and supported cooperation among media for a long time. In recent years, China-Africa cooperative relations are in a stage of comprehensive development, and Chinese and African media have also carried out various forms of cooperation. The International Channel is willing to strengthen cooperation with the South African media so that African friends can truly hear the voice from China and feel the friendly greetings from the Chinese people.
Eddie Malloka, advisor to the South African Foreign Minister and secretary-general of the South Africa-China Friendship Association, said in his speech that the three media projects launched on the 16th are a new model of South Africa-China media cooperation and will further promote the healthy development of South Africa-China relations and enhance understanding and friendship between the people of South China and China.
