Yantai International Communication Center (YICC), the inaugural municipal-level international communication hub in Shandong province, has marked its one-year anniversary. A commemorative event took place on Dec 23 at the Yantai Broadcast and Television Building to honor the occasion.

During the event, the Yantai-Buyeo gun Media Alliance, Shandong Korean Editorial Center, and the International Student Cultural Practice Base of Ludong University were formally established.

A group of international students and 10 photographers joined efforts to showcase Yantai to a global audience. Furthermore, the YICC signed a strategic partnership agreement with the Yantai Translators Association.

Since its inception on Dec 20, 2023, the YICC has made remarkable strides in fostering cultural exchanges between China and other nations, constructing a diverse communication network, and expanding the overseas viewership of top-tier content.

Looking towards the future, the YICC will further concentrate on strengthening its international communication capabilities. It aims to host a series of vibrant cultural activities to stimulate artistic endeavors, cultural exchanges, trade in cultural goods, and the development of cultural brands.

Additionally, the center will establish a content production system centered around new media to generate more engaging cross-media products.
