Participants to China-Russia media webinar urge joint effort in common challenges

The media of China and Russia are facing huge challenges and are also ushering in new development opportunities through continuous exchanges.

The two sides should jointly advocate the truthfulness and objectivity of news reports, and promote a positive international public opinion environment.

The media of the two countries should take the lead in seeking facts, exposing lies, restoring the truth of the pandemic, and enhancing the understanding of the international community toward China and Russia. The understanding of social development and cultural customs can help eliminate possible misunderstandings and prejudices.

They could also have more opportunities for joint interview activities to produce more touching stories, further deepening the friendship between Chinese and Russians.
