5th World Media Summit kicks off in China

The 5th World Media Summit kicked off on Saturday in the Guangdong Province of China, with about 400 delegates attending.

Of the figure, 200 are heads of mainstream media outlets, while other participants are government officials and representatives of international organisations globally.

This year’s Summit is focusing on “Boosting Global Confidence, Promoting Media Development”.

It is expected that delegates will brainstorm on issues of common interests and concerns, one of which is the role of the media in promoting human development and security.

Others are the media’s response to new technological opportunities and challenges, the media’s new markets in the digital age and the media’s worldwide cooperation for a better future.

In addition to the plenary session and parallel forums, delegates will have the opportunity to visit leading tech firms which started on Friday with a tour of GAC Technology Museum.

At the GAC Technology Museum, the delegates were amazed by the array of concept vehicles, some of which will soon hit the market.

Among such futuristic vehicles were driverless minivans and race cars powered by electricity.

Delegates to the Summit from across the globe arrived on Friday and quickly settled into business.

In the dynamic landscape of global media, the World Media Summit stands as a pivotal forum for fostering collaboration and addressing challenges, bringing together leaders and influencers from diverse corners of the world to engage in meaningful dialogue.
