The Kazan BRICS Media Dialogue, themed "Exchange and Mutual Learning for A Shared Future," was held on Wednesday in the Russian city, which is hosting the 16th BRICS Summit.

Heads of mainstream media, representatives of government agencies and think tanks from China, Russia, Brazil, South Africa, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Iran, Belarus and other countries attended the dialogue, which was co-hosted by China Media Group (CMG) and All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company.

The attendees had in-depth discussions on effectively telling stories of BRICS modernization and disseminating comprehensive, objective and impartial news and information to the world. They said they looked forward to further building consensus, deepening cooperation and learning from each other, and contributing media power to promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

Shen Haixiong, president of CMG, noted in a speech at the event that BRICS media have always adhered to the BRICS spirit of openness, inclusiveness and win-win cooperation, and are committed to becoming transmitters of common values, guardians of diverse civilizations and leaders of cultural cooperation.

He added that he expected that, as BRICS has enlarged, its media would be guided by the five commitments proposed by President Xi Jinping at the 16th BRICS Summit: peace, innovation, green development, justice and closer people-to-people exchanges.

Shen also suggested that BRICS media should speak with one voice, promote common development and promote common values.
