During the summit, with its technical strength and advanced signal transmission technology, StarTimes Group assisted Mozambique’s national TV station in broadcasting the China-Mozambique Investment Promotion Conference and Presidential Press Conference in Beijing. StarTimes also provided signal transmission channels for the Republic of the Congo, Zambia, Uganda, Cameroon and other countries, so that people in those countries could receive the latest news from Beijing.
