en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 10, the 5th Global Media Innovation Forum was held in Chongqing. Bangladesh's Minister of Information and Broadcasting, Zahir Uddin Swapon, attended related events and proposed cooperation suggestions on media collaboration, information governance, and technological exchange in the intelligent era. Themed "Upholding and Reshaping: The Mission of Media in the Intelligent Era," the forum brought together approximately 300 representatives from government departments, international organizations, media institutions, think tanks, and multinational corporations.

Intelligent technologies are transforming media production and information dissemination. Generative artificial intelligence, video communication, algorithmic recommendations, cross-lingual content distribution, and social media platforms have endowed news organizations with enhanced content processing capabilities, while also making misinformation, disinformation, and cross-border public opinion risks more difficult to manage. Bangladesh emphasized at the forum that the digital age requires strengthened information exchange, content sharing, and technological cooperation. Responsible journalistic practices and effective information management can contribute to development, peace, and public well-being. For media institutions in South Asia and East Asia, intelligent transformation is not merely about improving production efficiency; it also involves the credibility of public information, the boundaries of technology use, and cross-border communication coordination.

This forum has provided a new interface for media cooperation between China and Bangladesh. Bangladesh expressed a desire to expand training opportunities, skills exchange programs, and joint initiatives between the media institutions of the two countries.

Such cooperation has strong practical needs. Bangladesh's internet user base continues to expand, with rapid growth in short video platforms, mobile news, social media, and digital advertising. Traditional media face pressures related to content transformation, fact-checking, talent development, and technological upgrading. Chinese media institutions have accumulated extensive experience in ultra-high-definition production and broadcasting, international communication, multilingual content production, AI-assisted editing, video distribution, and major event coverage. If both sides can establish mechanisms for journalist training, technical workshops, joint programs, youth media exchanges, and digital content production, it will help deepen regional media cooperation. For Bangladesh's media industry, technological exchange can assist in better addressing challenges posed by disinformation governance, platform-based communication, and intelligent content production.

For the information and communication technology industry, media cooperation is becoming increasingly integrated with AI, cloud services, video communication, content security, and cross-lingual communication systems. Media capabilities in the intelligent era depend not only on editorial staff but also on content management platforms, automatic subtitling, multilingual translation, fact-checking tools, audio-video transmission, data security, and copyright protection systems. Discussions during the forum on media mission, technological responsibility, and the global media ecosystem indicate that international media cooperation has extended from content exchange to sharing technical standards, talent development, and governance experience. Subsequent milestones include whether Chinese and Bangladeshi media institutions will launch specific training programs, joint content plans, and technical cooperation mechanisms, as well as whether both sides can achieve sustained results in combating disinformation, enhancing public communication capabilities, and promoting digital media transformation.
