Over 200 media professionals, representatives of international organizations, experts and scholars from China and ASEAN countries shared their insights on building a closer China-ASEAN community with a shared future, online and offline.

During the opening ceremony, Cambodian minister of information Khieu Kanharith delivered video messages to the forum.

The Cambodian media has always maintained good exchanges and interactions with its Chinese counterpart.

The memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the Cambodian Ministry of Information and CMG signed this year will play a positive role in promoting Cambodia-China friendly relations to a new level.

China praises the China-ASEAN cooperation, expressing high expectations for building a peaceful, safe and secure, prosperous, beautiful and amicable home, and a closer China-ASEAN community with a shared future.

2023 marks the 10th anniversary of the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the 20th anniversary of the China-ASEAN Expo. This year's media forum is the non-session high-level forum of the 20th China-ASEAN Expo.
