Zhou Shuchun
-On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of Azerbaijan State News Agency and on behalf of China Daily, I would like to extend my warmest congratulations to chairman Aslan Aslanov and my sincere greetings to everyone at the news agency. Azerbaijan State News Agency is the country’s only official news agency. Over the past 100 years, it has followed the principle of truth and objectivity providing comprehensive information on domestic and foreign politics, business and culture to the international community in a timely manner. The agency has played an important role throughout Azerbaijan’s different historical periods over the past century. Since 2018, China daily has been working with Azerbaijan State News Agency. We have carried out a range of fruitful and productive collaborations, including content exchange and journalist training programs, and in doing so we have deepened the understanding and friendship between people of the two countries. Based on our mutual trust and conviction on a shared future, I believe we can play a crucial role in helping strengthen and promote a stable and far-reaching cooperative relationship between the two countries.
