Greater cooperation to benefit BRICS media

Media from BRICS countries should beef up cooperation to help with information sharing among the five emerging nations, a top leader said on Monday.

Leaders of 25 media groups from Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa will attend the meeting, which will be hosted by Xinhua News Agency.
