The first Georgian-Chinese media platform in Georgia Sinomedia was launched in 2017, on the 25th anniversary of Georgia-China diplomatic relations. Slogan of the media company is "Dialogue between civilizations".

The media platform is cooperating with leading Chinese news agencies. It focuses on the coverage of China-Georgia diplomatic, economic, cultural relations and other important updates in three languages: in Chinese about Georgia and in Georgian about China, in English (as an international language) about both countries.

The goal of the media platform is to help establish intergovernmental relationships and exchange of cultures between two nations. Georgia plays a role of gateway between Asia and Europe in the Belt and Road Initiative. Georgia, especially in recent years, has been actively involved in this global project.
