Kazakh President’s TV and Radio Complex, Aju News Corporation sign media cooperation deal

The document was signed by Raushan Kazhibayeva, director of the Kazakh President’s TV and Radio Complex, and Kwak Young-gil, chairman and founder of Aju News Corporation.

Under the agreement, the two sides will develop professional ties between their media organizations, expand information exchange and produce joint projects in television, digital media and multimedia content.

Kazhibayeva said the Kazakh President’s TV and Radio Complex views the partnership as a long-term investment in developing high-quality international media dialogue.

“The focus of our partnership is the exchange of modern approaches to content production that will be of interest to a broad Kazakhstani and Korean audience,” she said.

Kwak said the media can serve as a reliable bridge between Kazakhstan and South Korea.

“Through professional exchanges, joint information projects and the promotion of cultural initiatives, the media can make a significant contribution to strengthening partnership and trust between our countries,” he said.

The implementation of the memorandum is expected to expand the presence of Kazakhstan-related news in the Asian information space and provide audiences in both countries with access to up-to-date materials on socioeconomic, sociopolitical and cultural development of Kazakhstan and South Korea.

Cooperation with Korean media organizations is part of the Kazakh Presidential TV and Radio Complex’s broader program to expand its pool of international partners and establish a unified cooperation network across the continent, stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
