Media center wins journalists' praise

Edmund Smith-Asante, a reporter for the Ghanaian newspaper Daily Graphic, said his "first impression on the venue is that it's very beautiful. Everything's so organized. .. You did a very good job."

Smith-Asante said he expects BRICS topics and outcomes to benefit Africa and the whole world.

"I want to hear what President Xi Jinping will say in his address at the summit. I also want to hear what the participants will put on the table during the summit," he said.

Yu Dunhai, director of the media center, said more than 3,000 reporters from 80 countries and regions registered to report on the summit.

Yu said the media center, which covers about 8,000 square meters, has tea break areas that are designed with features of Chinese culture as well as the culture of southern Fujian province, where the summit is being held.
