The Türkiye-China Media Forum was held in Ankara on July 2, 2025, bringing together media professionals, government officials, and academics from both countries for in-depth discussions on media cooperation and the latest industry developments.
Organized by Türkiye’s Presidential Directorate of Communications, the one-day event featured two thematic panel sessions: “A Strategic Partnership in the Emerging Global Communication Architecture: Türkiye and China” and “Artificial Intelligence and Innovative Technologies in Strategic Communication.”
In his opening speech, Chinese Ambassador to Türkiye Jiang Xuebin noted that this year marks the 15th anniversary of the China-Türkiye strategic cooperative relationship. He emphasized the need for joint efforts from the media and other sectors to deepen mutual understanding and trust, promote civilizational exchanges and mutual learning, and uphold international fairness and justice.
