Astana, Kazakhstan — In a bid to enhance cultural ties and mutual understanding, China Media Group (CMG) has commenced screening some of its most acclaimed programs on mainstream media outlets in Kazakhstan. The initiative, which began on Sunday, features a selection of documentaries and special programs aimed at promoting friendship between the two nations.
The broadcast coincides with the announcement by the Chinese Foreign Ministry that Chinese President Xi Jinping will attend the 24th Meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in Astana. From July 2 to 6, President Xi is set to participate in the summit and undertake state visits to Kazakhstan and Tajikistan, signaling China’s commitment to regional cooperation and diplomacy.
Among the featured programs are “Encounter with Xi Jinping” and “The Call of the Silk Road,” which delve into China’s modern development and the historical significance of the Silk Road. These programs are scheduled to air until July 6 on prominent Kazakh television channels, including Silk Way and Atameken Business TV channel, reaching a wide audience across the country.
By sharing these high-quality productions, CMG aims to foster deeper cultural exchanges and strengthen the longstanding relationship between China and Kazakhstan. The move is expected to provide Kazakh audiences with fresh insights into Chinese society, history, and the vision for shared prosperity under initiatives like the Belt and Road Initiative.
As China and Kazakhstan continue to collaborate on economic and infrastructural projects, these cultural initiatives play a crucial role in enhancing people-to-people connections and mutual respect. Observers believe that such efforts will contribute positively to the overall stability and development of the region.
