“One Belt One Road” Initiative and China and the Middle East Media Exchanges

The proposal of the “One Belt One Road” initiative has brought historic opportunities for media exchanges  between China and the Middle East, and has also put forward higher requirements for media cooperation   between the two sides. At present, media exchanges between China and the Middle East have made positive progress, but there are still some problems. To do a good job in media exchange and cooperation between China and the Middle East, we should start with the implementation and improvement of existing mechanisms, the transformation of media working methods and concepts, the broadening of communication channels, the   concern for interests, and the strengthening of personnel training, so as to continuously improve the effectiveness  of media exchange and cooperation between the two sides and promote the healthy development of bilateral relations.
