Participants dropped some truth bombs 💣 about media’s role in cross-border friendships. 'We’re not just reporting news – we’re building bridges with cameras and keyboards,' said one delegate. The forum launched two collabs straight out of a content creator’s dream: a 📸 photo exhibition and a joint media project tracking Belt and Road success stories.
