Chinese, African media to cooperate

Media have the responsibility to tell authentic China-Africa stories, promote cooperation and strengthen ties, journalists agreed on Monday during a discussion about the role of the media.

More than 50 media representatives from China and Africa gathered in Beijing to discuss the media's role in building a China-Africa community with a shared future, following last week's 2018 Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, or FOCAC.

President Xi Jinping said during the opening ceremony of the summit that a China-Africa media cooperation network will be established, as the media represent one of the ways to "strengthen the bonds between the people of China and Africa".
