The third ASEAN-China TV Week is set to take place in Nanning, capital of Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region from Oct 27 to Nov 2, officials announced during a press conference held on Oct 9.

The Laos Ministry of Information, Culture and Tourism (MICT) has been invited to jointly hold the event, making this year's event the first of its kind to be held by parties from both China and ASEAN countries. 

The event will cast eyes on the fruitful results that have been achieved through the deepened cooperation in areas such as radio and television between China and ASEAN countries despite the COVID-19 pandemic.

The closing ceremony of the ASEAN-China Youth Hosts Camp will be held during the event, which has invited young hosts from China and ASEAN countries to promote China's outcomes and experience in areas spanning rural revitalization, the development of distinctive industries, ethnic unity as well as cultural communication through forms such as transnational online live streams and short videos.

"A China-ASEAN exhibition and trade fair for audiovisual products will be held during the event to cast eyes on the application of advanced technologies in the audiovisual sector such as 5G, cloud computing, big data and artificial intelligence," said Yan Ni, deputy secretary general of the secretariat of the third ASEAN-China TV Week organizing committee.
