Global South Media Partners Mechanism unites industry: Vanuatu TV CEO

Francis Herman, CEO of the Vanuatu Broadcasting and Television Corporation, has hailed the new Global South Media Partners Mechanism as a critical initiative which will bring the industry closer together and provide a key collaboration platform to build a more peaceful, prosperous and productive world.

Herman was speaking in a video message delivered for the Global South Media Partners Mechanism Inauguration Meeting and the 13th Global Video Media Forum (VMF), which will be held on November 6 in the ancient city of Xi'an in northwest China's Shaanxi Province under the theme "Building Consensus for Shared Benefits: Media's Role in Global Governance."

The Global South Media Partners Mechanism aims to deepen collaboration among media outlets of the Global South, encouraging practical cooperation, content sharing, professional training and joint productions, as well as fostering dialogue and research among participating media partners.
