The Holding and the Chinese Xinhua News Agency signed a Memorandum of Cooperation for personnel training
Gazprom-Media Holding and the Xinhua information agency (China) signed a Memorandum of Cooperation for personnel training in the field of specialized and professional education. The document was signed during the official visit of Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, to the People’s Republic of China. This memorandum provides for a systematic exchange of experience between journalists, editors, and media specialists of the two countries.
“Xinhua News Agency has a unique global news gathering network and a multilingual multimedia information distribution system. Gazprom-Media Holding, in turn, has accumulated significant skills, knowledge, and experience in creating audiovisual content, its promotion, and marketing. It is in this duo, the combination of global reach and deep production expertise, that our key strength lies. I am confident that improving personnel qualifications based on the best practices of the two countries will become a development driver for the media industry. For the Holding, China remains a strategic partner and one of the priority areas for long-term growth.”
Aleksandr ZharovCEO of Gazprom-Media Holding
The parties agreed to create joint educational programs, conduct seminars and internships, as well as regularly exchange best professional practices. In addition, the memorandum provides for the mutual participation of journalists and media experts from Russia and China in conferences and forums as speakers and listeners.
The signed document is a continuation of the systematic interaction that began in 2025 with the agreement between the Holding and Xinhua during the visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping to Russia. While the previous agreement provided for cooperation in the field of news content, the new document focuses specifically on the educational track. The parties announced their intention to soon begin developing joint programs, seminars, and internships, utilizing the synergy of Xinhua’s global news network and Gazprom-Media’s production and marketing expertise.
