China Media Group (CMG) on Wednesday held a dialog in Doha, Qatar, gathering nearly 100 guests and media representatives to discuss what opportunities China's development and opening up will bring to Qatar and how to advance practical bilateral cooperation.
The event is part of CMG's "China in Spring Time: Sharing Opportunities with the World" Global Dialog series.
During the dialog, Chinese representatives reaffirmed China's commitment as a builder of global common development to further expanding high-level opening up and sharing the enormous opportunities created by China's modernization progress.
Over the past few years, China-Qatar relations have achieved leapfrog development and have been elevated to a new level of strategic partnership, with bilateral cooperation expanded in economic cooperation and people-to-people exchanges.
Bachar Chebaro, general secretary of the Arab Publishers Association, said activities like CMG's Global Dialog series can help further deepen mutual understanding and explore opportunities in bilateral cooperation. "I have been to China at least five times and visited a lot of Chinese cities. I have witnessed the vigorous development of China's world-class industrial system. I deeply understand that dialog and exchanges are of great value in learning from China's development experience, not only for Arab countries but also for countries around the world," he said on the sidelines of the dialog.
At the event, a dozen Chinese and Qatari youths, including representatives from the Qatari government and universities and Chinese students and representatives of Chinese companies in Qatar, delved into such topics as artificial intelligence empowering technological innovation in both countries and the rising craze of China and the Chinese language in Qatar.
CMG's documentary "China: Race to the Future," Chinese animated blockbuster "Ne Zha 2," and the promotional video for the "China travel with Chinese films" program were played during the event.
