This landmark agreement sets the foundation for a regular cooperation mechanism, aiming to deepen cultural, digital, and news collaborations.
CMG President Shen Haixiong signed with Oleg Dobrodeyev, Director General of the All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company, and with Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of Russia Today, as well as Svetlana Balanova, CEO of National Media Group. On behalf of the China Film Administration, Shen also exchanged documents with Olga Lyubimova, Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation.
The four agreements span joint content production, digital platform integration, talent exchanges, and documentary co-productions. By pooling resources across newsrooms, streaming services, and cultural showcases, both sides are poised to offer audiences richer stories from Beijing to Moscow and beyond.
For young global citizens and digital nomads craving immersive perspectives, this pact promises a fresh wave of cross-border documentaries and live cultural events.
