The China Pavilion at Expo Dubai hosted the China-Arab Media Salon, coinciding with the official inauguration of the Middle East Communication Center of Hainan Media Group, which has chosen Dubai as its regional hub.

As the first international communication center established overseas by Hainan Media Group, the launch of the Middle East hub marks a key step in enhancing China-Arab media collaboration through innovative momentum. The salon was attended by officials from Dubai Government and China’s Hainan Province, along with media professionals, thought leaders, and academic experts in media, economics, and international cooperation.
