China Daily to launch weekly in Zhejiang

HANGZHOU - An English-language weekly run by China Daily and Zhejiang Daily Press Group will debut in the second half of this year to serve readers in one of the country's wealthiest provinces.

The launch of the weekly within several months is just part of collaborations under the strategic partnership the two sides forged in Zhejiang province on Thursday, according to Zhu Ling, editor-in-chief of China Daily.

"China Daily will cooperate with Zhejiang Daily Press Group in a number of areas, including publishing the English weekly, launching projects that favorably present Zhejiang to the world and training talent," Zhu said.
