Chief Executive John Lee thanked the China Media Group for its support for the work of the SAR government during a meeting with its president and editor-in-chief on Friday.

The meeting was held at Government House during a visit to Hong Kong by Shen Haixiong, who's also vice minister of the Publicity Department of the Communist Party's Central Committee.

CGTN Documentary and Radio The Greater Bay, under the China Media Group, were officially launched in Hong Kong on Friday on RTHK television and radio, as well as its online platform, with the aim of helping Hong Kong people better understand the country's latest developments and further develop their national identity.

Lee thanked the China Media Group for its comprehensive reports on Hong Kong, allowing mainland residents to learn more about the SAR. He added the Hong Kong government will step up cooperation with the group as part of efforts to develop the city as a hub for international arts and cultural exchanges.
