Voice of Vietnam and China Media Group Signed a Cooperation Agreement
Voice of Vietnam (越南之聲廣播電台) and China Media Group (中央廣播電視總台) signed a cooperation agreement on April 14, 2025, during Chinese President Xi Jinping’s (習近平) state visit to Vietnam. The agreement, marking the 75th anniversary of Vietnam-China diplomatic relations established January 18, 1950, aims to “strengthen bilateral media relations through joint reporting on significant developments in Vietnam-China relations,” according to VOV. The cooperation framework includes exchanging and co-producing media content, supporting reporters from both organizations, conducting staff training exchanges, and sharing communication technology. This collaboration aligns with the “Humanitarian Exchange Year 2025” initiatives and follows VOV’s working visit to CMG headquarters in Beijing in March 2025. The timing coincides with Xi’s broader Southeast Asian tour aimed at strengthening regional ties amid escalating US-China trade tensions.
