PETALING JAYA: Media Prima Bhd (MPB) hosted a visit from delegates of the Embassy of China earlier today to discuss projects that could strengthen their relationship through the mainstream media.
The visit was led by Chinese ambassador to Malaysia Ouyang Yujing. Other delegation members included its counsellor Zheng Xin and first secretary Tang Tang.
Ouyang said the meeting with MPB was to share ideas on collaborative programmes in the future.
"Our relationship is built on a strong foundation as we celebrate the 48th anniversary of Malaysia-China ties this year," he added.
Present were MPB group chairman Datuk Seri Dr Syed Hussian Aljunid, Media Prima Omnia chief executive officer Datuk Michael Chan, REV Media Group chief executive officer and Media Prima Omnia chief operating officer (Sales Direct) Efendi Omar.
"After discussing with Datuk Seri (Syed Hussian), we were very impressed with MPB as one of the leading media groups in Malaysia", he said.
Ouyang added the Chinese Embassy would show continuous support towards future collaborations.
"Maybe we can even invite MPB to China and expand our (areas of) cooperation after the border reopens."
Syed Hussian said that the meeting with Chinese representatives opened up a lot of areas that could be explored further.
"MPB is always open for discussion on plans that can be explored."
