Euronews representative office for Central Asia will open in Astana
A representative office of the European 24-hour news channel Euronews in Central Asia will open in Astana.
The corresponding agreement was signed during a meeting between the Minister of Culture and Information of the Republic of Kazakhstan Aida Balayeva and the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Euronews Pedro Vargas David in Brussels, Kazinform reports.
Thus, the Euronews team plans to broadcast the TV show Modern nomads about the art, culture and lifestyle of the Kazakhs, the program “Connection of East and West”, covering business and economic events in the country, “Voices from Central Asia” - interviews with famous personalities of the region, a number of Focus reports covering major regional events and conducting training sessions and master classes to improve the skills of employees of domestic media and press services.
“This is our furthest expansion to the east. Kazakhstan is the center of the Eurasian continent, and this demonstrates the strength of our presence not only in European countries, but also outside the continent. We are a channel that reaches 1.2 billion people around the world, and having a presence in Central Asia has been something we have wanted for a long time,” said Pedro Vargas David, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Euronews.
Euronews has taken the initiative to become a media partner of the World Nomad Games, which will be held in Astana in September.
