BEIJING - Islamabad-based Pakistan-China Institute (PCI) announced the Rapid Response Information-Exchange Network (RRIN) on Saturday, to counter propaganda against the multi-billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
The PRIN was launched in collaboration with leading Chinese media outlet China Economic Net (CEN), using a three Cs approach: counter negativity, compare Chinese assistance and CPEC with others since on CPEC there are no political strings attached, and connect the Pakistani and Chinese media, which will use the increased role of media in disseminating facts and accurate, updated information on CPEC.
The CEN and the PCI, in collaboration with the Chinese Embassy in Islamabad, jointly organised the 4th CPEC Media Forum, which concluded on Friday in Beijing.
The purpose of the forum was to disseminate factual information on CPEC and also to devise a joint Pakistan-China strategy to counter negative perceptions that are generated by vested interests and detractors in the region.
A 12-member delegation took part in the event, led by PCI Chairman Senator Mushahid Hussain.
