Representatives of over 50 countries on Friday pledged to encourage more people-to-people, culture-to-culture and country-to-country exchanges, by championing media and entertainment as a channel for dialogue.

- HT Correspondent

MUMBAI: They committed to support choice, access and affordability in media consumption; and to uphold content that respects human rights, and cultural sensitivities while fostering cross-border collaborations.

The pledges were part of a declaration of the first Global Media Dialogue in Mumbai, held during the ongoing World Audio Visual and Entertainment Summit (WAVES 2025), and organised by the ministry of information and broadcasting (I&B) and the external affairs ministry.

Aimed at nurturing international collaboration, policy alignment, talent exchange and capacity building in media, the dialogue focused on the role of governments in fostering peace and harmony in an increasingly globalized media environment.
