As part of efforts to promote sci-tech exchanges between China and South Africa, Science and Technology Daily (S&T Daily) has established a cooperative relationship in news communication with the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC).
Zhang Biyong, president of S&T Daily, and Palesa Sekhejane, director for the Strategic Partnerships of HSRC, signed an MOU on November 27.
Under the MOU, the two sides will strengthen information sharing and news communication, in a bid to disseminate Sino-South African cooperation stories in the field of science and technology.
Meanwhile, relevant events will be co-hosted to boost the sci-tech cooperation between China and South Africa at various levels.
Zhang said that as the two countries' sci-tech exchanges and cooperation become more frequent, S&T Daily will take the opportunity to expand the communication channels with South African partners, to facilitate the two-way exchange of sci-tech knowledge.
Focusing on leveraging the power of sci-tech innovation, HSRC hopes to strengthen cooperation with its Chinese partners to find solutions in areas such as food security and poverty alleviation, said Sekhejane, adding that media should play a greater role in such a process.
Established in 1986, HSRC is engaged in cutting-edge research that supports development in South Africa, the Southern African Development Community and Africa.
