The Jinan International Communication Center was launched in Jinan, capital of East China's Shandong province on May 24.

Supported by the Jinan municipal publicity department, the center will make full use of international social media resources to promote the city worldwide.

"The center is expected to integrate publicity resources from home and abroad to build a media ecosystem of domestic and overseas communication and create a good overseas public voice for the construction of the provincial capital," said Dai Longchen, director of the Jinan municipal publicity department.

The center will have six functions that consist of content production, platform operations, global communication, material copyrights, exchanges and interaction, and international publicity.

The center has opened accounts on global social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and has established close relations with more than 500 overseas media outlets worldwide such as Associated Press (AP), Agence France-Presse (AFP) and TASS Russian News Agency. In the future, it plans to enrich the media promotional means through pictures, short videos, animation, and featured films to promote Jinan's history, culture and celebrities.
