RIYADH: The 91st session of the Standing Committee for Arab Information began on Monday in Cairo. The session was chaired by Dr. Khalid bin Abdul Qader Al-Ghamdi, chairman of the committee and the general supervisor of External Information at Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Culture and Information.
The meeting will discuss the draft agenda of the Executive Office of the Council of Arab Information Ministers at its ninth session, to be held today under the chairmanship of the Kingdom.
The meeting discussed the draft agenda, which included the Palestinian issue, media honor charter, the current Arab media strategy, and formulating a new vision in line with developments in the Arab region and the world, notably the international media plan to counter the unilateral American decision to recognize Jerusalem (Al-Quds) as the capital of Israel, in implementation of the resolutions of the recent Arab summit in the city of Dhahran in the Kingdom. The summit was renamed “the Jerusalem Summit.”
The agenda also includes the role of the Arab media in tackling the phenomenon of terrorism, the Arab Committee for Electronic Media, as well as following up on Arab Media Action Plan abroad, the Arab Media Day and the Arab Media Excellence Award.
