Chinese agreement negotiated under former PBS administration

An agreement that the Public Broadcasting Services is expected to sign with the Central China Television network, is a vestige from the last PBS administration, a government source has told MaltaToday.

The agreement was given front-page importance on the PN's organ In-Nazzjon, claiming that the broadcast sharing agreement and journalist exchange, was linked to the Maltese government's agreement with the China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) on a feasibility study for the construction of a bridge between Malta and Gozo.

A government source told MaltaToday the one-year agreement was brokered under a previous administration at PBS.
