Amb. Zhou visits The News Newspaper

In the past week, Chinese Ambassador Zhou Yuxiao visited the Press Union of Liberia, major newspaper offices such as The News, Heritage, The Analyst, The Inquirer, and National Chronicle as well as Star Radio to get acquaintance with managements and staff of the media houses.

During the meetings, Amb. Zhou learned with great interest about the current performance of the media houses and their difficulties. He expressed his appreciation to the media practitioners for their professionalism and devotion under extreme financial constraints and equipment shortage. He also thanked them for their active and positive role in promoting Sino-Liberian relations. He said that it was through the media that he got better understanding about Liberia and introduced China to the Liberian general public, adding that media played a role as bridge which made it possible for people in different countries to understand each other. He pledged that China will continue to offer training opportunities to Liberian media practitioners and contribute to the capacity building of the Liberian media.

Amb. Zhou also explained China's foreign policy, pointing out that China pursues the independent foreign policy of peace and calls for the building of a harmonious world. He expressed satisfaction over the development of Sino-Liberian bilateral relations. Since the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation Beijing Summit in 2006 and the subsequent exchange of state visits by heads of the two countries, bilateral relations have reached a new high, said the Ambassador.

Amb. Zhou said that Liberia is blessed with rich resources, vast land for the small population and good climate. Once preferential policies are adopted for foreign investments, Liberia's potential will be turned into sustained economic development. The Chinese Embassy will encourage more enterprises to invest in Liberia for win-win cooperation, said Amb. Zhou.

The media houses spoke highly of China's role in the peace building and reconstruction process of Liberia. They also thanked the Embassy for its office equipment donation to the media at their most difficult time. They pledged to work together with the Embassy to maintain and strengthen the existing cordial working relations, so as to help promote the mutual understanding between peoples of the two countries.
