China, Mongolia urge stronger media cooperation

(China Daily/BRNN) -- Officials and industry professionals from China and Mongolia have underscored the vital role of journalism in deepening bilateral cooperation and people-to-people ties, urging news organisations from both countries to amplify voices that promote mutual understanding and dispel misconceptions.
They made the remarks at the 16th China-Mongolia Journalism Forum held in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia autonomous region. The forum brought together more than 120 guests and representatives from the Chinese and Mongolian media sectors.
Cui Shixin, executive vice-president of the All-China Journalists Association, highlighted the shared challenges and opportunities facing China and Mongolia as developing countries located in Northeast Asia.
“Both nations need to facilitate people-to-people exchanges and cement the foundation of friendship,” Cui said.
He expressed hope that Chinese and Mongolian media would uphold objectivity and fairness, elevate positive voices that enhance understanding and build consensus, eliminate misunderstandings, and continue to strengthen the social foundation of the China-Mongolia friendship.
Mongolian Foreign Minister Batmunkh Battsetseg echoed this sentiment, saying the foundation of ties lies in the people and that the basis of bilateral cooperation is in mutual understanding.
“Authentic, objective and fair news reporting by media is therefore crucial, as it can effectively bridge the distance between the two peoples, advance mutual understanding and lay a solid public opinion foundation for the sustained practical cooperation between China and Mongolia,” she said.
Media coverage is essential not only for deepening mutual understanding and friendship, but also for accurately conveying the real achievements of bilateral relations and the tangible benefits of cooperation to the public, she added.
