Cambodia, China Boost Media Ties via AI and Digital Tech

PHNOM PENH, October 20, 2026 — The Ministry of Information of Cambodia and the National Radio and Television Administration of China (NRTA) have agreed to deepen media cooperation following their 7th Annual Meeting held on October 19, 2026, in Beihai, China.

The bilateral summit, co-chaired by His Excellency Ouk Samrech, Secretary of State of the Ministry of Information, and His Excellency LIU Jianguo, Vice Minister of the NRTA, coincided with the 8th ASEAN-China Media Week.

Key achievements over the past year include new partnerships with major Chinese media outlets—such as China Media Group (CMG), People's Daily, and Xinhua—joint production of documentaries, and training for over 70 Cambodian information officials.

Looking ahead, Cambodia outlined six priority areas: accelerating action plans, securing technical assistance for digital broadcasting and the MoINFO App, building artificial intelligence (AI) media capacity for journalists, establishing a hotline to fight fake news, expanding joint productions, and creating training opportunities for next-generation journalists.

The meeting concluded with both sides expressing confidence that the outcomes will provide a clear roadmap to advance media capabilities and support the Cambodia-China Community with a Shared Future.
