The agreement aims to create opportunities for the two media organizations to share content, explore joint creative projects, and expand collaboration between Kenyan and Chinese media professionals. The partnership will allow KBC to share its rich cultural archive, while creating new platforms for collaboration between creators from both countries. «KBC will be a partner, not a bystander. We will go beyond sharing and move on to joint creativity. Beyond cooperation, towards integration. We are digitizing our archives, treasures dating back to 1928, not to lock them up, but to share them. We will create platforms where Kenyan and Chinese authors can meet, learn and grow together», she said.
The new partnership builds on the long-standing relationship between Kenya and China dating back to the 1960s, providing citizens of both countries with new opportunities to communicate through media and culture. «We have been talking about China-Africa partnership for decades. Infrastructure. Trading. Education. All of this is vitally important. But the partnership we celebrate today is different. It's about communication not only between countries, but also between people. Between the hearts. Between the grandmothers and mothers who raised us, and the children who will inherit the world we are building», Kalekye said.
At the opening of the forum, Luo Yabo, Head of the Television Series Management Department of the Hubei Provincial Radio and Television Administration, noted that the Media Week of China and Hubei Province plays an important role in strengthening friendly ties between the African and Chinese peoples. This forum replaced the China-Hunan Film Week, which took place from June 9 to 11, and confirms efforts to deepen cultural and creative partnership between Kenya and China. During the ceremony, an agreement on cooperation in film and television production was signed between the Kenyan Film Commission and Hubei Yangtze River Film Group, which was signed by CEO Timothy Owase.
