In a major move to boost cultural and technological ties, the Arab League and China Media Group (CMG) signed a cooperation agreement this week. The partnership will focus on documentary preservation, joint content creation, and cutting-edge media tech like AI and cloud computing.
Celebrating 20 Years of Collaboration
The deal coincides with the 20th anniversary of the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum. To mark the milestone, both sides will produce a documentary showcasing historic moments and future goals of their partnership. The film will debut at the 2026 China-Arab Summit—a date already circled on diplomats’ calendars.
Tech Meets Tradition
CMG President Shen Haixiong and Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit discussed expanding media innovation during their meeting in Egypt. Gheit praised China’s tech advancements, calling CMG’s ultra-high-definition broadcasts a 'game-changer' for global storytelling.
Chinese Ambassador to Egypt Liao Liqiang highlighted the shared vision: 'This isn’t just about cameras and archives—it’s about building bridges through every frame and algorithm.'
