The 8th China-South Korea Media High-level Dialogue opened on Monday in Seoul. Over 30 mainstream media organizations from both sides attended the dialogue, including China's People's Daily, Xinhua News Agency, and China Central Television, along with South Korea's Chosun Daily, and Yonhap news agency.

Addressing the dialogue, deputy-director-in-chief of the People's Daily Lu Xinning said that there’s huge potential in the cooperation between the Chinese media and their Korean counterparts.

“The two sides shall work together to deepen the collaborations. Media is the rational basis of public and social rationality,” said Lu in her panel speech themed “Let the Rise of China and the Miracle on the Han River complement with each other”.

Lu called for more exchanges between the media organizations from China and South Korea. “The two sides shall work together, share resources, and carry out joint interviews on the public issues of common concerns between the two countries. All of these efforts can provide more information backing the comprehension of the China-ROK relations, bringing more knowledge to solve the difficulties,” said Lu.

Lu also emphasized that the both sides should build platforms to bring more content exchanges to open up new channels and new ways on mutual understandings.

Launched in 2009, the China-South Korea Media High-level Dialogue is held once a year in China and South Korea in rotation.

The media from both countries signed six cooperative agreements at the opening ceremony.
