Chinese and African media houses have agreed to deepen cooperation in information sharing, best practice and training.
Over 40 media delegates from China and 11 African countries gathered to explore new areas of cooperation at the China-Africa Media Forum in Johannesburg.
The deputy director of the State Council Information Office of China, Guo Weimin, said the media should complement the political, economic and people friendships that are existing.
Zimbabwe’s Herald chief editor said Sino-Africa cooperation is required to break the Western media monopoly which is meant to suit a particular agenda.
She and many other speakers hailed China for improving the information technology infrastructure thereby benefiting the African media.
