China's Xinhua News Agency and Australian Associated Press (AAP) on Thursday agreed to exchange experiences in the reporting of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Xinhua's editor-in-chief Nan Zhenzhong briefed visiting AAP President Clive Marshall and editor-in-chief Tony Gillies about Xinhua's efforts in training personnel, improving facilities and market strategies for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

As the news agency of the host country of the Olympics, Xinhua will provide the best possible service to foreign news organizations, Nan said.

Marshall said AAP was willing to share its experiences with Xinhua in reporting the 2000 Sydney Olympics. AAP attaches great importance to its cooperation with Xinhua, he said, expressing his hope that the two agencies could further expand cooperation fields in the future.
