Typical of China’s global media engagements, the focus was on bilateral relations and China’s positioning of itself as a champion of the Global South. Xinhua reported that the two sides reviewed past cooperation and expressed willingness to collaborate on “serving the development of China-Peru relations,” promoting exchanges between Chinese and Latin American media, “deepening cooperation among media think tanks of the Global South,” and AI-driven media transformation.
