China's CCTV Video News Agency (CCTV+) explored further cooperation opportunities with Algeria's National Publishing, Communication and Advertising Enterprise (ANEP) during an online business exchange meeting held on Monday.
During the meeting, CCTV+ gave a presentation of its self-developed intelligent media service platform 'MediaMix', a suite of tools designed to enhance news production efficiency, content personalization, and cross-platform distribution, to attendees from the ANEP and its AL24 news channel.
The two sides held in-depth exchanges on a range of areas such as news content sharing, technical exchanges, personnel training, and strategic partnerships. They agreed to expedite the signing of a formal cooperation agreement to implement the exchange of news content and live broadcast signals, and to conduct technical exchanges and training on the intelligent media service platform.
CCTV+ also extended an invitation to media colleagues at the ANEP to attend upcoming high-level technical training programs and offline media events in China.

Hamas announced on Saturday the start of its meetings in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, with Palestinian factions and mediators to discuss the implementation of the ceasefire agreement and the future of the Gaza Strip.
Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem told reporters that the meetings aim to complete what was agreed upon in the first phase, including halting "Israeli aggression and escalation, assassinations, opening the crossings, and allowing the entry of the National Committee."
Discussions will then move to seek reasonable and acceptable approaches for all parties regarding the second phase, whether it involves the entry of international forces or the Gaza technocratic committee into the enclave, or addressing the issue of Palestinian weapons, Qassem added.
He said that Hamas prioritizes the Palestinian people's interest and seeks to "remove any pretexts for Israel to resume war on the Gaza Strip."
A Hamas delegation led by its leader in Gaza, Khalil al-Hayya, along with other faction representatives, arrived in Cairo on Friday for the multi-day talks.
These developments come as the fragile October 2025 ceasefire between Hamas and Israel falters, with key provisions, including disarmament and reconstruction, yet to be implemented.
The first phase of the ceasefire included an exchange of prisoners and detainees, the entry of humanitarian aid into the strip, and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from some areas.
The United States announced in mid-January the start of the second phase of the ceasefire, which includes a complete Israeli military withdrawal, Hamas disarmament, reconstruction, and the establishment of a transitional governing body in the Gaza Strip.
