Cambodian Minister of Information Neth Pheaktra has reaffirmed Cambodia’s commitment to foster media cooperation with countries in South and Southeast Asia, stressing that it will contribute positively to regional and even global development.
“In light of the opportunities and challenges posed by significant shifts in international relations and the rapid emergence of the intelligent era, Cambodia is committed to deepening media cooperation with countries in South and Southeast Asia.
Memento Maxima Digital MarketingWe are confident that, in the future, the South and Southeast Asia Media Network will play even more significant roles,” he said in his remarks at the South and Southeast Asian Media Network (SSAMN) Annual Meeting 2024, held on Dec. 9 in Xishuangbanna, an autonomous prefecture in China’s southwestern Yunnan province, under the theme “Joining Hands for New Mechanism of Media Cooperation.”
He continued that through collective efforts, all participants in the SSAMN can better promote the development of national and international relations, deepen mutual understanding and trust, and enhance cooperation across various fields.
“Cambodia encourages our friends in the media sector to harness their strengths, actively promote positive energy, and foster cultural exchange and mutual appreciation, thereby contributing to the building of a shared future for humanity,” the Cambodian information minister said.
Neth Pheaktra took the opportunity to highlight Cambodia’s remarkable achievements in its media exchange and cooperation with countries in South and Southeast Asia. “For instance, we have maintained collaborations with media departments and outlets in ASEAN nations and engaged positively with Chinese media.
Additionally, Cambodia has actively participated in media exchange initiatives within the frameworks of China-ASEAN cooperation and Lancang-Mekong cooperation, enabling more Cambodian citizens to gain insights into the region’s countries and injecting new momentum into mutual exchanges among the peoples of different nations,” he pointed out.
Over the past year, he said, the Ministry of Information of the Kingdom of Cambodia has actively supported media outlets such as National Television of Kampuchea and Koh Santepheap Daily in their participation in the Network.
The “Yunnan-Angkor Tours” series of activities the ministry has jointly organised with Yunnan province, has created a distinctive cultural tourism brand, capitalising on the Cambodia-China People-to-People Exchange Year.
Additionally, the “China Yunnan” news page, which we launched together, keeps readers informed of the latest developments in Cambodia-China cooperation. In-depth interviews with Siem Reap Angkor International Airport and the Cambodia-China “Save the Heart”, a congenital heart disease assistance project, vividly highlight the ironclad friendship between Cambodia and China.
On the occasion, Neth Pheaktra gave four recommendations to strengthen the SSAMN – deepen the cooperation mechanism, foster technological innovation, enhance talent cultivation, and enhance the Network’s global influence.
Initiated by Yunnan International Communication Centre for South and Southeast Asia and China Daily Asia Pacific, the South and Southeast Asia Media Network was established in Beijing on Jan. 31, 2024, which marks a new chapter in regional media cooperation.
This platform not only offers an opportunity for media from various countries to engage and collaborate but also fosters a close-knit community where the members can explore together, share experiences, and progress hand in hand.AKP
