Chinese media will actively participate in the upcoming Global Media Congress in Abu Dhabi, which will explore the media of the new era and convey the common values and ideals of humankind through technology, innovation, and win-win collaboration, a top Chinese diplomat told the Emirates News Agency (WAM).

“China strongly supports the UAE in successfully holding the Global Media Congress, encourages Chinese media and enterprises to actively participate in the conference, and discuss the innovative developments of the media industry with the UAE and other countries’ media. I wish the second Global Media Congress great success,” said Zhang Yiming, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the People’s Republic of China.

LOOKING FOR EYE-CATCHING 2ND GMC:  He made these comments as preparations are underway for the second edition of the Global Media Congress that will be held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Presidential Court.

Organised by ADNEC Group in partnership with WAM, the prominent international conference-cum-exhibition in the media sector will take place from 14th to 16th November 2023, at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre - ADNEC, Abu Dhabi.

The Chinese envoy pointed out that this year’s Global Media Congress coincides with the 10th anniversary of the “Belt and Road” initiative proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping, and the UAE’s hosting of the COP28 in Dubai. “I believe this year’s conference will be more eye-catching and gain more fruitful achievements.”

Yiming added that this year’s conference is expected to carry forward the past and usher in the future, seek common ground while reserving differences, actively explore the media of the new era, and convey the common values and ideals of mankind through technology, innovation, and win-win collaboration.

COMMON ASPIRATIONS: He said China and the UAE share the same aspirations and ideas, and it is common responsibility of the media to tell the story of China and UAE and the story of China-UAE friendship.

“In recent years, under the care and guidance of President Xi Jinping and President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, China-UAE exchanges and cooperation in the media field have developed rapidly and achieved fruitful results,” Yiming stressed.
