Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the Guangxi Daily, Mr. Song Chunfeng, proposed expanding cooperation with The World & Vietnam Report across various fields, notably including the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the media sector, organizing seminars and thematic forums, journalist exchanges, collaboration in professional journalism training, and promoting cultural, tourism, and sports exchange activities among the youth of both countries.
In addition, the development of self-driving tourism through border gates between Guangxi and Vietnam has been identified as a promising new area of cooperation. As such, Guangxi media agencies hope to strengthen collaboration with The World & Vietnam Report to widely promote this tourism model, thereby fostering and expanding the potential-rich tourism cooperation between the two countries.
Notably, Guangxi media agencies emphasized their readiness to cooperate with The World & Vietnam Report in promoting the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in media and communication activities, including AI-powered Masters of Ceremony, filmmaking, and news reporting. While modern technologies present great opportunities, they also pose significant challenges for media agencies in applying AI effectively, maximizing its potential, and mastering its use.
Mr. Jing Shuiqing, Editor-in-Chief of Wuzhou Media Center, noted that The World & Vietnam Report and the Center share many similarities in their media coverage, thereby offering a strong foundation for substantive cooperation in the media sector and the application of emerging technologies, particularly AI, in journalistic practices. Following today’s working session, both sides aim to establish strong communication channels to turn this cooperation potential into specific tasks and activities, contributing meaningfully to commemorating the important 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

He highlighted that sharing historical information, especially the legacy and stories of President Ho Chi Minh and early Chinese revolutionaries during their time in Guangxi, would be highly meaningful and of great interest to readers in both countries.
In addition, The World & Vietnam Report is ready to collaborate with Guangxi media agencies in organizing events such as seminars and in-depth discussions on the application of technology in media and communication, as well as sharing experiences in various forms of journalism, including the social media ecosystem.
Editor-in-Chief Son affirmed that international cooperation is currently one of the key strategic directions of The World & Vietnam Report, aimed at expanding its network, sharing information, and exchanging experiences with major and reputable media agencies in the region and around the world—including media agencies in Guangxi.
