The Director of Broadcasting, Ms Angelina Kwan, visited Bangkok, Thailand, on May 27 and 28. During the visit, she signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Thai Public Broadcasting Service (Thai PBS) and visited the Nation Group to explore future partnership opportunities as part of Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK)'s efforts to deepen co-operation with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) broadcasters.

Ms Kwan yesterday (May 27) signed the MOU with the Director General of Thai PBS, Mr Vanchai Tantivitayapitak, to explore collaboration in areas such as news and current affairs, and cultural and travel programming. The agreement also aims to promote joint productions, the exchange of production teams for on-location filming, talent training and staff exchanges.

Ms Kwan also met with the management of the Nation Group today (May 28) to gain insights into the local media landscape.

Ms Kwan stated that Thailand is an important member of ASEAN. The signing of the MOU with Thai PBS, together with her engagement with local media, will help deepen RTHK's collaboration with ASEAN broadcasters and elevate its international communication capacity. She affirmed that RTHK has already established co-operation agreements with public broadcasters in Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam, and will continue to seek partnerships with other public broadcasters. Through programme and knowledge exchange, RTHK aims to foster mutual understanding, strengthen people-to-people connectivity, and leverage Hong Kong's unique role as a hub linking the country and the wider world to share Hong Kong's stories internationally.
