This was agreed in a meeting between the Minister of Information and Broadcasting Manish Tewari and Minister of State Council, Information Office, Cai Ming Zhao.
In a statement, the I&B Ministry said in the discussions between the two delegations it was agreed to “explore possible areas of co-operation in capacity building, co-production agreements related to films, sharing of the experience of institutionalising digitisation in the broadcasting sector and enhanced participation during the film festivals being held in both countries.”
These areas will be identified under the aegis of the working group set up between the two countries. The Chinese minister is on a visit to India to participate in the first meeting of the India-China Media Forum being held in New Delhi on Monday.
