Liu Yunshan, head of the Public Department of the Communist Party of China (CPC), said Friday that he hoped media mogul Rupert Murdoch will make more efforts to enhance cooperation with Chinese media.

In meeting with Murdoch, Liu, also member of the Political Bureau and of the Secretariat of CPC Central Committee, appreciated the active work Murdoch has done in advancing cooperation with China's news media.

Liu said he hoped News Corp. will continue to promote understanding between China and the rest of the world.

Murdoch, chairman and chief executive of News Corp., said his company will further strengthen cooperative ties with the Chinese media and make contributions to publicize the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

Murdoch and his party were invited by the Information Office of the State Council to visit the country from Nov. 9 to 12.
