China's Guangxi Television Showcase Week will be screening on the state-owned National Television of Cambodia (TVK) from August 21-26 at 10:00 pm (local time) in order to further enhance cooperation on information and culture between Cambodia and China.

The inauguration of the China's Guangxi TV showcase week was held at the TVK's studio on Tuesday under the presidence of Khieu Kanharith, Cambodian Information Minister, Shen Beihai, director of Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Guangxi Committee, and Chinese Ambassador to Cambodia Pan Guangxue.

The event was live televised through the TVK and the Guangxi TV. Speaking at the launching, Khieu Kanharith said the event was a part of information and culture exchange between Cambodia and China.

"Through the program, the peoples of Cambodia and China will move closer in relations and Cambodians will learn more about the tradition, custom, and culture of Chinese people in Guangxi," he said.

Shen Beihai said that the Guangxi TV Showcase Week was aimed at deepening friendly relationship between the peoples of China and Cambodia, and further strengthening cooperation in all domains between China's Guangxi and Cambodia.

Meanwhile, Zhou Wenli, director general of the Guangxi TV, said that six new documentaries of the Guangxi Television will be screening on the TVK. Those films feature daily lives of Chinese people, their tradition, custom and culture. Also, one of the documentaries compiled the six-time visits of Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen to Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

TVK's director general Kem Gunnawadh said the Guangxi TV Showcase Week reflected friendly and close relationship between the TVK and the Guangxi TV in particular and between Cambodia and China in general.

The Guangxi TV and the TVK forged relations in 2004 during the China-ASEAN Expo in Guangxi.
