The first websites using Estonian and Lithuanian languages in China were officially launched on February 8 in Beijing.

With the launch of the two new websites, CRI Online, the official online portal of China Radio International, expanded the number of the languages used on its multimedia websites to 61, making it the online media platform with most languages around the world. The content for the websites is provided by journalists from Radio86 in Finland.

The State Council Information Office and embassies of related countries in Beijing sent congratulations on the launching of the new websites, praising CRI's efforts and achievements in promoting mutual understanding between the Chinese people and their counterparts in Estonia and Lithuania, while building up channels for international exchanges and exploring cooperation between Chinese and foreign media outlets.

The new websites (http://ee.radio86.com and http://lt.radio86.com) will offer a huge amount of video, radio programs, photos and information that mainly focus on Chinese business, culture and travel amongst other things.

Since it was established on December 26, 1998, CRI Online has been dedicated to serving internet users from all over the world with different languages. In recent years, it was devoted to expanding its business scope and renovating the services it offered.

Currently, CRI Online has developed into a multi-language and multimedia platform that consists of websites in 61 languages, 18 online radio stations and offered online video broadcast and internet surfing services based on cell phones, becoming a window for the foreign internet users wanting to get knowledge about China in their native languages.
