Central Asian nations are considering the launch of a joint television channel and media platform, according to Kazakhstan’s Minister of Culture and Information, Aida Balayeva. The announcement was made during the second Central Asian Media Forum.
The channel’s programming will focus on showcasing the region’s potential, as well as promoting friendship and unity among the peoples of Central Asia. Plans include a series of broadcasts dedicated to historical events and the rich cultural heritage of the region.
