CMG pledged to utilize its broadcasting capabilities in 80 languages to share China-ASEAN friendship stories and its "5G+4K/8K+AI" technological innovations to build more platforms for media dialogue.

A series of new cooperative achievements between CMG and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region were unveiled at the event.
