China to cooperate with Mozambique in media sector

8:46 CAT | 02 Dec 2016

The Chinese Ambassador to Mozambique, Su Jian, has expressed his country’s readiness to continue to promote professional exchanges between the two countries in the area of social communication.

Su Jian’s comments came during a courtesy visit to the Mozambican Information Office, GABINFO, with the objective of becoming better acquainted with the institution’s workings and responsibilities.

“We exchanged ideas with the director of GABINFO to see if we could expand the space for exchanges and cooperation between the parties, because the media sector plays a very important role in strengthening friendly relations and cooperation between China and Mozambique,” he remarked.

The diplomat stressed that bilateral cooperation between Mozambique and China covers all areas, but is still in its infancy in the media sector.

As a way of stimulating cooperation, China annually invites journalists and reporters from Mozambique to take part in professional training courses in China.

“We have distributed materials to media in Mozambique, and Mozambican television, national radio, Jornal Notícias and some private agencies have already benefited from China’s support in technical and technology resources,” the diplomat said.

He said that China would continue to contribute to the development of Mozambique.

GABINFO director Emília Moiane said that the visit was a great opportunity to promote collaboration between the parties and support the media as a whole.

“As a result of this visit, we will take steps in support of the People’s Republic of China for Mozambique. This support has taken various forms, and we want the media to have opportunities as well,” she said.
