Alliance members to focus on 'We know Asia better'

BEIJING - A top government spokesman on Friday proposed that Asian news organizations expand coverage of each other's countries to increase cooperation and better serve the populous continent.

"In domestic developments and international exchanges, Asian members are pursuing the same or similar goals and confronting challenges that are alike in many aspects," Wang Chen, minister of the State Council Information Office, told senior editors attending the annual meeting of Asia News Network (ANN) in Beijing.
