Tavuli News has signed a media cooperation agreement with Guizhou Today Convergent Media Group in China, marking a new step in media cooperation between the Solomon Islands and Guizhou Province.
The Memorandum of Cooperation was signed on Saturday June 27 in Guiyang during a study tour by a Solomon Islands media delegation. Tavuli News was represented by journalist Jeremy Gwao.
Under the memorandum, the two organisations will exchange news content covering culture, tourism, economic and social development, as well as areas of bilateral cooperation, for publication across their respective media platforms.
Deputy Special Security to the Prime Minister Barnabas Henson said the memorandum establishes a practical framework for cooperation through news exchanges, joint reporting, journalist exchanges, professional development and media capacity building.
He said these initiatives will create valuable opportunities for professionals from both countries to learn from one another, share experience, embrace innovation and build lasting institutional relationships.
Mr Henson said he is confident the partnership will deepen understanding between the people of Guizhou Province and the people of Solomon Islands.
“I am confident this partnership between Guizhou Today Convergent Media Group and Tavuli News will deepen understanding between the people of Guizhou Province and the people of Solomon Islands. It will also contribute to stronger cultural ties, greater tourism promotion, enhanced professional cooperation and a deeper appreciation of our shared aspirations for peace, development and prosperity,” he said.
Tavuli News is an independent multimedia news organisation based in the Solomon Islands, while Guizhou Today Convergent Media Group is one of Guizhou Province’s leading integrated media organisations, publishing news across digital, print, broadcast and social media platforms.
The agreement establishes a framework for cooperation in news exchanges, joint reporting, journalist exchanges and professional development. It is expected to build stronger friendships and improve understanding between journalists in both regions over time through regular exchange visits and shared storytelling experiences that connect communities
