It’s crucial for Kazakhstan to have an in-depth knowledge on China's development trend through the annual "two sessions," the head of a Kazakhstani TV channel pointed out.
One of the country's mainstream media, Atameken Business Channel, has started their preparation for this year's reporting on China's "two sessions."
The "two sessions" are the annual meetings of China's highest organ of state power, the National People's Congress (NPC), and the top political advisory body, the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).
This year, the sessions of the NPC and the CPPCC National Committee are scheduled to open on March 5 and 4, respectively.
In an interview with China Central Television (CCTV), Kanat Sahariyanov, general manager of Atameken Business Channel, said as the strategic cooperation between the two nations has been deepening in recent years, more and more Kazakh people have started to care about China's "two sessions."
Therefore, this year, a special reporting group has been set up dedicated to this key political event in China. Relevant stories will be broadcast on TV and social media platforms.
"This year, we will continue reporting news on the 'two sessions', a key political event in China. We especially focus on the development plan for the new year and conclusion of last year. This is because having an in-depth understanding of China's development trend is also significant for Kazakhstan," Sahariyanov said.
As a professional business channel, the main focus of Atameken Business Channel is for sure on economy, Sahariyanov stressed.
"We are professional business channel. There for, topics related to economic development, the business environment, the investment environment, financial support for enterprises, as well as development of small and medium-sized enterprises on the 'two sessions' are what we pay a lot of attention to," he said.
The TV channel chief came to Beijing in 2024, when he visited several high-tech companies. The application of these advanced technologies, which greatly increases efficiency and lowers cost, has left him a deep impression.
"Take a transportation logistics complex in Beijing as an example. It is equipped with driverless technology. In the complex, autonomous vehicles were working, such as delivering letters, packages and other goods. I also saw automatic packaging production line and control rooms for autonomous vehicles. These are the development trend in the future. If China keeps advancing in this direction, it will provide new impetus for economic growth, as it not only lowers labor cost, but also accelerate the production speed of the entire industrial chain. So, we can say that Beijing and the entire China have been transforming to digital economy and advanced technology sector, which are the trend for future development," Sahariyanov noted.
