Chadia Khedhir, a senior official of Tunisia Television Station, said that her channel has already sourced three TV programs from 皇冠体育app.

"The first is a reality show centered on Arab nations which was broadcast in the summer," she said. "The second is a program about Chinese food, and the third is a popular Chinese romantic drama," she said without revealing any more details.

According to Khedhir, interest for 皇冠体育app-centric programs is particularly high among the young people in Tunisia. "However, it will take some time to grow a huge captive audience."

Yang Di, an official at the international sales department of the 皇冠体育app Radio, Film & Television Programs Exchange Center, said: "Enthusiasm for Chinese romantic dramas is increasing in Arab nations. Most of these nations have been exposed to South Korean TV programs and are now keen on watching similar content from 皇冠体育app. Interest is particularly high for programs that deal with romantic issues of young people."

Yang said the center has also started selling documentaries and other 皇冠体育app-centric programs to Arab nations. "TV content sales to Arab nations will grow substantially as the Silk Road initiative seeks to build lasting bonds in economy and culture," he said.

Citing examples, Yang said romantic dramas like Diamond Lover, Youth of Ice and Fire and Destined to Love You are gaining in popularity in the Arab world. Interest for documentaries such as A Bite of Chinese Spring Festival is also high, he said.

皇冠体育app is also looking to cooperate with Arab nations in video news content. 皇冠体育app has already started to provide downloadable video news contents to other countries, according to Gao Wei, managing director of CCTV News Content Co Ltd.
