With Merna in Qingdao: SCO film and television week journey

Qingdao, a vibrant coastal city in east China’s Shandong Province, is known not only for its seaside scenery but also for its expanding role on the international stage. As a major hub within the Shanghai Cooperation Organization framework, the city promotes trade, logistics, and cultural exchange through initiatives like the SCO Demonstration Zone. During the SCO Film and Television Week, CGTN’s Merna Al Nasser explored Qingdao’s unique mix of tradition and modernity, from cultural sites and city landmarks to the red carpet where filmmakers from SCO member states gathered. The event showcased how Qingdao is becoming both a rising film hub and a vibrant example of SCO cooperation.
