At the Global Media Dialogue between 77 countries at World Audio Visual and Entertainment Summit (WAVES), Union Minister of Information & Broadcasting Ashwini Vaishnaw said that the focus should be on co-production treaties, joint funds and a declaration which helps bridge the digital divide, foster brotherhood, global peace and harmony.

"We need to thus widen the global bridge of creativity to an expressway of ideas," Vaishnaw said.

Some member nations shared concerns on the need to enhance "responsible journalism", which they felt can be addressed by mutual collaborations on the forum of WAVES, Press Information Bureau (PIB) said.

Vaishnaw also said in his opening remarks that culture inspires creativity which connects people across borders. He also stressed on the crucial role of collaborations for common success.
