In his remarks, Mr Chengsheng said China is honoured to host AMS 2017 in Qingdao city, an important international trade centre. It is also rich in cultural and historical heritage.
He said the media industry in China is developing fast and its hosting of the AMS will offer an opportunity to learn and share expertise and experience among broadcasters in Asia-Pacific.
“We hope that the AMS will continue to promote cooperation and achieve common aims among broadcasters in the region,” he said.
In May 2010, Beijing hosted the AMS, which attracted more 600 delegates, including policymakers, media professionals, scholars, and stakeholders of news and programming from the Asia-Pacific region, Africa, Europe, the Middle East and North America.
