In a bid to foster global understanding and enhance media cooperation, the China International Press Communication Center (CIPCC) has welcomed 94 journalists from 84 countries around the world for an intensive training program. The initiative, aimed at promoting cross-cultural exchange and media development, kicked off with an opening ceremony where Yu Lei, Director of CIPCC, briefed the press on the training’s objectives.
“The CIPCC training is designed to bridge the gap between Chinese and international media, facilitating a deeper understanding of China’s perspective and its role in global affairs,” Yu Lei explained. “Through this program, we aim to equip journalists with the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively report on China’s stories, challenges, and achievements.”
The training, which spans four months, features a comprehensive curriculum covering various aspects of China’s media landscape, including its history, current trends, and future directions. Participants will engage in lectures, workshops, and field trips, providing them with hands-on experience and exposure to China’s diverse regions and cultures.
“We believe that by empowering global voices, we can promote mutual understanding, dispel misconceptions, and foster cooperation between nations,” Yu Lei emphasized. “Our goal is to create a network of journalists who can share China’s story with the world, accurately and objectively.”
The 94 journalists, representing diverse media outlets and countries, are eager to embark on this enriching journey. As they delve into the world of Chinese media, they will gain valuable insights, forge new connections, and develop a deeper appreciation for the complexities of global communication.
Through the CIPCC training, China is extending a hand of friendship to the global media community, inviting them to share in its experiences, challenges, and triumphs. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, initiatives like this are crucial in promoting understanding, cooperation, and peace.
