“The ‘Maritime Silk Road Media Innovation and Cooperation Platform’ welcomed a new member on August 3 as South [Guangdong Today] signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Talamua Media in the Samoan capital of Apia.”
“According to the MOU, the two parties will engage in exchanges across five areas—joint reporting, content sharing, coordinated distribution, annual events and commercial collaboration. The signing marks another substantive step forward in deepening media collaboration and people-to-people exchanges between Guangdong and the South Pacific region.”
“The ‘Maritime Silk Road Media Innovation and Cooperation Platform’ was launched in December 2025 by South, with major media representatives from more than 10 Belt and Road partner countries—including Malaysia, Myanmar, Indonesia, Egypt, Fiji and Vanuatu—joining its inaugural launch.”
“In October 2026, South will host the second annual joint reporting programme under the platform. Talamua Media will send senior journalists to Guangdong to participate in the joint coverage.”
“South is Guangdong’s flagship international media platform. Through content production, brand events and international community engagement, South is dedicated to sharing the stories of Guangdong, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, China, and the Global South with the world. It has already reached nearly 20 million overseas users and over 1,000 mainstream media outlets worldwide.”
