The event kicked off on June 26 in Tunisia's capital city of Tunis and lasted four days, with the participation of broadcasting and television institutions and agencies from Arab and other countries.
The National Radio and Television Administration signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Arab States Broadcasting Union to strengthen cooperation in program exchange, technology service industry and talent training in the fields of broadcasting, television and new media.

Jiangxi Province in east China has dedicated significant efforts to foster the growth of its LED industry, forming a competitive LED industrial chain.
LED, the third-generation semiconductor light source, finds extensive applications in products such as LED screens, streetlights, mobile phone flashlights, and smart wearable devices.
Today, the LED industry is flourishing in Jiangxi, but the province has gone to lengths from technological research and development to large-scale production.
"There are nearly 400 work procedures [in producing LED chips], which means that we have to debug more than 1,000 parameters and process conditions. But we don't have any previous industrial experience to refer to. We can only manage it by ourselves, doing experiments repeatedly and being meticulous about details," said Wang Qiong, deputy director of the Strategic Development Department of LatticePower Co., Ltd., a LED product provider.
In efforts to shore up weak links of the industry, Jiangxi initiated a promotional plan in 2015 aimed at building a LED industrial base.
Subsequently, Jiangxi adopted a series of favorable LED industrial policies, attracting a flood of leading LED enterprises to establish their presence in the province.
In 2020, Jiangxi introduced an industrial chain chief system, designating high-ranking provincial government officials to serve as industrial chain chiefs to address significant challenges encountered by the enterprises in their development.
"For example, there are challenges related to financing, labor shortages and so on. We've mainly managed to reform the industrial chain chief system, set up data records and encouraged enterprises to explore more business cooperation models to find more new application areas beyond the traditional lighting field," said Nie Yunxia, director of Electronic Information Office of the Department of Industry and Information Technology of Jiangxi.
In 2023, the LED industry of Jiangxi earned a total revenue of 71.59 billion yuan (about 9.85 billion U.S. dollars), a rise of 9.9 percent year on year.
So far, the province has formed a full LED industrial chain including chips production, packing and application.
