  • Implementing the CPC's propaganda principles and policies.
  • Formulating policies for press and publication industry management and supervise their implementation.
  • Managing press and publication administrative affairs.
  • Co-ordinating and guiding press publications and industry development.
  • Supervising and managing the content and quality of publications, the printing industry and importation of publications.
