BEIJING, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News / WAM - 18th Jun, 2026) The United Arab Emirates Embassy in Beijing hosted a UAE-China media dialogue reception on Wednesday aimed at deepening cultural and press cooperation, coinciding with the opening of the Beijing International Book Fair.

The event, held at the UAE's "Al Bait Al Emarati" (The Emirati House) pavilion, brought together representatives from Emirati and Chinese media organisations and regulatory bodies. The UAE is the Guest of Honour at this year's book fair, which is the world's second-largest.

Discussions aimed to introduce the regulatory norms and policies of the UAE media industry to enhance mutual understanding and trust; establish counterpart liaison mechanisms to lay a foundation for future joint reporting, personnel exchanges and co-creation of media content; and help Chinese media gain an in-depth understanding of the UAE’s participation arrangements as the Guest of Honour of the Book Fair.
