The TV and Radio Complex of the
President of Kazakhstan is expanding its cooperation by partnering with China
Global Television Network (CGTN), which broadcasts in over 160 countries
worldwide. For the first time, the national satellite TV channel Silk Way, in
collaboration with the international media organization, has launched a series
of joint programs on domestic television, including one conducted in
teleconference format. TV hosts and experts discussed topical issues related to
the development of bilateral cooperation between Kazakhstan and China, as well
as the upcoming agenda of the SCO Summit.
«Today, Kazakhstan and China are
key partners, with China being our largest trading partner. Recognizing the
significance of this relationship, we facilitated a connection between the two
countries via our teleconference. Kazakh experts were hosted in our Astana
studio, while Chinese specialists participated from the studio in Beijing. This
synthesis of diverse opinions is what we aimed to achieve,» said Ainur
Imangali, Editor-in-Chief of Silk Way TV Channel.
Moreover, viewers could watch a
talk show dedicated to cooperation within the SCO framework. The discussion featured
Kazakh and international experts addressing issues related to promoting a
global multilateral dialogue, as well as economic and tourism cooperation among
the member states. The project was co-hosted by Kazakh anchor Ainur Imangali
and renowned Chinese journalist Tian Wei.
«Exchanges among the media
organizations is extremely rewarding. Our counterparts were already waiting for
me at the door and introduced me about the grand history of the Silk Way TV.
Coming into the studio, where we are standing right here, totally modern and
automated, cameras are operating very smoothly. Also, the people working here
are very professional. It reminds me of my team back at home,» CGTN host Tian
Wei said.
The two TV channels will
broadcast special news segments by Silk Way and CGTN reporters, focusing on
Kazakhstan-China cooperation in the trade, economic, diplomatic, and
educational fields. They will also extensively cover the agenda for the
upcoming SCO Summit. Additionally, Silk Way TV channel will air the documentary
