The Saudi Media Ministry launched media centers to cover the activities of the three Riyadh summits that were held in line with the official two-day visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping to the Kingdom that kicked off on Dec. 7.
More than 130 local, Gulf, Arab, and global media outlets from 50 different countries attended to cover the Saudi-Chinese, Riyadh-Gulf-Chinese and the Riyadh-Arab-Chinese cooperation and development summits at the King Abdulaziz International Conference Center and the Marriott Hotel.
The Ministry provided five well-prepared studios for direct broadcasting of the events, locations for conducting interviews, and hospitality.
The media centers offered media professionals covering the summits access to satellite services for satellite channels, open Internet service, and direct broadcasting.
The attendance of the Chinese media delegation was remarkable.
Juan of the Chinese People's Daily said these summits are “historic” and require special coverage.
He referred to a statement by China’s Foreign Ministry, in which it stressed that the summits are considered the first diplomatic dialogue between China and Arab States with this momentum and international presence.
Juan expressed eagerness to know more about the Saudi cities, specifically the capital Riyadh, which is witnessing a major transition and holding important events, the most significant of which is the Riyadh Season.
