Cholpon-Ata, July 21, 2022 ./Kabar/. At the Consultative Meeting of the Heads of States of Central Asia in Cholpon-Ata town, Kazakhstan's President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev proposed creating a region-wide TV channel or a news website of Central Asian countries.

The Kazakh leader noted the need to strengthen cooperation to prevent negative phenomena in the information space, which are detrimental to the entire region.

"The essence of this work must be the inviolability of our friendship. We need to unite in opposing any attempts to divide the peoples and bring a rift into our relations by fomenting interstate and inter-ethnic discord. Unfortunately, there is still an acute information hunger in our media for coverage of life in the countries of the region. It would be desirable to reverse this trend, perhaps it makes sense to create a region-wide TV channel or a news website," Tokayev said.

The president of Kazakhstan also noted that it would be useful to hold regular meetings of heads of specialized agencies and news agencies in Central Asia to work through these issues in detail.

Cholpon-Ata town of Kyrgyzstan’s Issyk-Kul Oblast is hosting on Thursday the Fourth Consultative Meeting of Heads of State of Central Asia.

Within the framework of the Consultative Meeting, it is planned to sign a number of documents, as well as to hold bilateral meetings.
