The Azerbaijan State News Agency (AZERTAC) and China Daily Group, one of China's most influential media organizations, have signed a cooperation agreement on the sidelines of the 6th World Media Summit in Urumqi, China.
The document was signed by Vugar Aliyev, Chairman of the Board of AZERTAC, and Zhu Baoxia, Vice President of China Daily.
The agreement includes the exchange of daily news, photos, and videos between the two organizations, as well as the sharing of expertise through training programs for young journalists and joint events.
The sides hailed the close cooperation between AZERTAC and China Daily, as well as the mutual support provided for each other’s projects. China Daily has featured dozens of AZERTAC’s news pieces on its website, highlighting the achievements of Azerbaijan under the leadership of President Ilham Aliyev.
Since its launch in 1981, China Daily has become the nation’s leading English-language newspaper. With a combined print, online, and mobile readership of more than 350 million, it serves a vital role in telling the world about China, providing valuable insight into the world’s second-largest economy. Consequently, it is quoted more often by overseas media than any other Chinese publication.
Along with the flagship edition on Chinese mainland and Hong Kong Edition, China Daily publishes an International Edition – covering North and South America, Europe, the Asia-Pacific and Africa – and various digital platforms.
