Liu Yunshan, head of the Publicity Department of the Communist
Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, met with a Philippine press
delegation in Beijing Wednesday, vowing to strengthen cooperation
between the press of the two countries.
Chinese and Philippine publicity departments signed a letter of
intent on friendly exchanges and cooperation in 2004.
Liu, also a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central
Committee, said the letter of intent will play an active role in
promoting the press exchanges and cooperation between the two
countries, and making comprehensive and objective reports on each
other.
He said bilateral press exchanges and cooperation will also
promote the understanding and friendship between the two
peoples.
Ignacio Bunye, Philippine Secretary of Press and head of the
delegation, said the Philippine press department will make more
efforts to push forward the press cooperation with China, and
encourage the Philippine media to actively cover the 2008 Olympic
Games in Beijing.
The delegation, at the invitation of the Information Office of
the State Council, is visiting China from November 28 to December
2.
