Overseas media gain broader knowledge

Journalists from 18 countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative had their understanding of China enhanced as a result of their training in the China Global Media Fellowship program which concluded on Friday.

This year's 19-day program, the second since its inception last year, was designed to help these foreign media workers better understand China's economic, political, cultural and social progress and nurture mutual exchanges.

The program, jointly launched by China Daily, the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing and Shanghai International Studies University, was concluded at a ceremony in Shanghai on Friday.
