The Asia Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) has opened a conference at the Korean Broadcasting System (KBS) in Seoul to discuss ways to expand exchanges of regional documentary works and joint productions.

A total of 13 broadcasting stations from ten countries, including Japan's NHK, China's CCTV and Turkey's TRT, are participating in the four-day meeting through Thursday.

KBS presented a special documentary on the environment, "Humans and Wetlands," which features Korean wetlands and life forms living in the wetlands.

During the conference, another meeting will be held to discuss the future direction of Asian TV documentaries and new joint projects.
