KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 4 – The good relations forged between Malaysian and Chinese media organisations will help improve the level of news reporting in both countries, said Minister of Communications Fahmi Fadzil.
He said that the positive atmosphere and the strong ties, built on a high level of professionalism, made it easier for news reporting to be carried out and had even created a positive perception among the media in Malaysia and China.
He hoped that, with the close ties, news coverage and reach between the two countries could be expanded.
“This good relationship is very meaningful and valuable in terms of diplomatic relations, so I hope that with closer cooperation, we will not just listen to, watch, read and receive news reports from all over China in Malaysia, but Malaysian news will also reach China,” he said.
Fahmi said this when asked about the role and relationship between media organisations of both countries in an interview with a journalist from the China Media Group (CMG), Satria Zhang, during his recent working visit to China.
The interview was aired in the Asia edition of Malaysia Petang Ini (MPI) produced by BERNAMA TV on Friday (Oct 4).
Elaborating, Fahmi said that the good relationship between media practitioners in Malaysia and China could also be used to gain knowledge about journalism, especially in the digital era.
