When Rufat Hamzayev, executive director of Azerbaijan’s AnewZ TV, visited CGTN headquarters this week, he didn’t just admire the flashy tech – he saw a blueprint for global storytelling. 🎥✨ In an exclusive chat with CGTN’s Cui Yingjie, Hamzayev highlighted how ‘shared values in factual reporting’ could spark a new era of media collaboration between the two nations.
🔑 Why it matters: As Azerbaijan steps up its role in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), media partnerships are becoming a soft-power supertool. Think content swaps, joint documentaries, and maybe even co-produced shows that make K-dramas look basic. 💡
Hamzayev praised CGTN’s ‘digital-first approach’ – a vibe check for Gen Z audiences craving authentic global news. With Azerbaijan eyeing deeper SCO engagement, could we see a TikTok-style news revolution bridging Asia and the Caucasus? 📱🌍
Pro tip for media nerds: Watch how platforms like AnewZ TV leverage China’s tech innovations while keeping their cultural flavor – it’s the ultimate remix strategy. 🎶
