“Journalists do not build bridges from concrete. We build bridges from information, stories and facts,” Zuzana Lechanova, our media ambassador from Slovakia, said during the 2026 Belt and Road Journalists Forum.
For Zuzana, meaningful journalism begins with firsthand observation rather than secondhand information. During her visit to China, she hopes to look beyond the headlines and experience the country’s technological advances, economic development and everyday life for herself. By listening, questioning and reporting what she sees, she aims to present a truthful and balanced picture of modern China to audiences in Slovakia, helping bridge differences and foster mutual understanding.
