Pakistan, China to deepen media, culture cooperation

Pakistan and China are poised to deepen cooperation across media, culture and digital platforms under the framework of the Global Civilization Initiative, said Attaullah Tarar, Pakistan's federal minister for information and broadcasting, in an exclusive interview on Thursday.

Tarar, who is in Beijing for the Global Civilizations Dialogue Ministerial Meeting, highlighted the pivotal role of the GCI, which was proposed by President Xi Jinping in March 2023, in facilitating mutual understanding globally.

"I think it's an important initiative, and it will not only bring Pakistan and China closer together, but also add to harmony and bringing other countries closer together," he said.
