Aslan Aslanov mentioned that AZERTAC also maintains regular exchange of information with the English-language daily newspaper China Daily, which has more than 100 million active readers. He praised the role of the Confucius Institute in teaching Chinese language to employees of AZERTAC, adding that the agency has been disseminating news in Chinese language for more than five years.
Praising the Huawei company’s activity in Azerbaijan, Yang Zilong said: “Our goal is to contribute to the application of new technologies in Azerbaijan and the transition to an innovation economy.” Recalling that AZERTAC has provided media support to several projects implemented by Huawei, Yang Zilong expressed the company’s interest in further expanding its cooperation with the news agency.
During the conversation, the sides also exchanged views on the impact of new technologies on media, promising areas of cooperation between AZERTAC and Huawei, and the possibility of signing an agreement to raise relations to a new level.
