The Government of Mozambique (莫桑比克政府) is the national government of the Republic of Mozambique, a state in southeastern Africa. Since gaining independence from Portugal in 1975, Mozambique has been governed by FRELIMO, a political party that originated as a guerrilla liberation movement. Since January 2025, the country has been led by President Daniel Francisco Chapo. Mozambique and the People’s Republic of China established diplomatic relations on June 25, 1975, and in May 2016 elevated ties to what Beijing designates a comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership.

Zambia Daily Mail

The Zambia Daily Mail is a state-owned English-language daily broadsheet newspaper published in Lusaka, Zambia, wholly owned by the Government of the Republic of Zambia and incorporated under the Companies Act (Cap. 388) of the Laws of Zambia. Its history traces to February 23, 1960, when the first edition of the African Mail was published in Northern Rhodesia as an independent weekly pro-independence newspaper; it was renamed the Central African Mail in 1962. In 1965, the newly independent Zambian government acquired the paper from its private owners — majority shareholder David Astor among them — renaming it the Zambian Mail and subsequently expanding it into a daily publication renamed the Zambia Daily Mail in 1970, at which point it was instructed to become an “instrument in nation building.” The paper also publishes the Sunday Mail. It is one of two state-owned daily newspapers in Zambia, alongside the Times of Zambia, and both fall within the supervisory portfolio of the Ministry of Information and Media. In 2021, the Media Institute of Southern Africa called for the need to “reform government-owned publications such as the Daily Mail” so that they reflect the diverse views of all Zambians — reflecting longstanding concerns about the paper’s editorial independence.

Greece-China Association

The Greece-China Association (Σύνδεσμος Ελλάδας-Κίνας), founded in 1956 and based in Athens, presents itself as a non-profit that promotes friendly, cultural, and economic relations between Greece and China. It was originally established as the “Union of Friends of New China” (Ένωσις Φίλων της Νέας Κίνας) by Nicolas Kitskis, then dean of the National Technical University of Athens and a member of parliament, and his wife Beata Kitskis, following a visit to China in September 1956. Its activities include Chinese-language classes, HSK examination administration, Chinese New Year celebrations, and organized tours to China for Greek students. The association designates the Chinese ambassador to Greece as an honorary chair and has ties with the Chinese Embassy in Athens. Its annual Chinese New Year dinner is held “under the auspices of the Embassy of China in Greece.” In 2013, the Chinese Ambassador to Greece personally opened the dinner. In May 2025, the association co-supported the Athens Cooperation Forum at Zappeion Hall, hosted by Xinhua alongside the Chinese Embassy.

Ministry of Information and Media

The Ministry of Information and Media is the Zambian government ministry responsible for broadcasting and television services, information and media policy, and information services. Its mandate, as prescribed in Government Gazette Notice No. 1123 of 2021, covers the implementation of broadcasting and television services, information services, and information and media policy, as well as supervision of the following statutory bodies and institutions: the Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA), the Times of Zambia, Times Printpak Zambia Limited, the Zambia Daily Mail, the Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation (ZNBC), the Zambia Printing Company (ZPC), and the Zambia Institute of Mass Communication (ZAMCOM) Education Trust.

The ministry was renamed from the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting Services following the August 2021 general elections, with the realignment approved by the National Assembly as required by the Constitution; the rename also resulted in the transfer of the cinematography and theatre portfolios to other line ministries.

Centre culturel de Chine à Paris

The Centre culturel de Chine à Paris (Paris China Cultural Center) is a Chinese cultural institution in France that China’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism has described as  part of a network that is described by as an ‘official non-profit cultural institution dispatched by the Chinese government,’ whose mission is to promote Chinese culture abroad. Inaugurated on November 29, 2002, as the first such center in a Western country, it was jointly opened by then-Vice Premier of the State Council Li Lanqing (李嵐清) and former French Minister of Overseas Affairs Bridget Girardin. The center hosts exhibitions, film screenings, language courses, and seasonal festivals. In its “About Us” page, the Center says its mission is “telling China’s story well” (講好中國故事) and presenting a “trustworthy, lovable and respectable” image of China — standard party-state language that highlights Xi Jinping’s directive that media and cultural institutions must work internationally to strengthen external propaganda. Unlike similar centers such as Germany’s Goethe-Institut, which is registered as a politically independent association, or the British Council, which operates under an independent Board of Trustees at arm’s length from the UK government, the Paris center operates under direct ministerial authority with no independent governing body.
