00:00In other topics, the third Global South Academic Forum concluded its activities in Shanghai,

00:05bringing together experts and academics from diverse regions to analyze the contemporary challenges of the Global South,

00:12discuss history and strengthen cooperation among countries of the Global South.

00:17A correspondent in the country, Bruno Falsi, brings us more details.

00:20Shanghai hosted more than 250 specialists from 21 countries for the third edition of the Global South Academic Forum.

00:32The meeting highlighted the anti-fascist victory, the sacrifice of China and Russia,

00:38and reinforced the historical solidarity of the Global South reflected in shared discussions and projects.

00:45This collaboration then is a significant one in a sense that here you don't only have the Chinese,

00:51you've got Africans, Latin Americans, we have Europeans, Japanese, South Koreans and other people from this region

00:58who are here because they have a common goal of advancing our understanding of how we can improve the human condition.

01:08And that is what brings everybody here.

01:10So by and large, this is a show of solidarity.

01:13It's a manifestation of collaboration, and we're looking forward to doing more with all these partners who are here

01:20from over 21 countries across the world.

01:23The Forum facilitated the exchange of experience in family farming and technology,

01:30showing how cooperation with Chinese universities strengthens sustainable production,

01:37technological innovation and the revitalization of rural communities.

01:43This is also important for the MSD, because the MSD here in China has established various partnerships with universities,

01:54especially the Agricultural University, in search of technologies so that we can advance in appropriate agricultural mechanization

02:01in family farming, but also in bio-inputs that enhance the production of our crops.

02:07The battle of ideas, media concentration, cultural imperialism, and the challenges of artificial intelligence

02:19were discussed, underscoring the need to strengthen independent channels and content in the region.

02:27The communications war, there are multiple fronts, like the battle of ideas, it's a very complicated concept.

02:33We're talking, one, not just about journalism or media in the traditional sense of the term.

02:38We're also talking about, say, TV shows.

02:41They're also part of communications in a larger sense.

02:44We're talking, for instance, about social media, of course, forms part of it.

02:47But we're talking about a variety of cultural products, all of which come under the sector of communications.

02:53And we need to think about that in those terms, because the fundamental question before us is how are,

02:58especially young people, making sense of the world today, right?

03:02And that is through a variety of platforms which did not exist in the past

03:06and which are largely captured by the imperialist forces.

03:10The meeting concluded by highlighting the solidarity of the global south as a coordinated action,

03:18promoting the exchange of experience, innovation, and collaboration among countries

03:24to build a more just and multipolar world order.
