The plan outlines 13 collaborative projects spanning audiovisual policy communication, personnel exchanges, and content and technology industry cooperation. Projects include co-producing documentaries “The Story of Peace—Traveling with Zheng He” (和的故事—跟著鄭和遊山海) and “Neighborliness·Cambodia” (睦鄰·柬埔寨), and launching a Cambodian language version of the Lancang-Mekong Audiovisual App. The content selection reflects Beijing’s historical narratives and regional connectivity themes that serve its strategic messaging objectives.
