Arab information ministers on Thursday stressed that the Arab media bodies should focus on combating terror and serving the Palestinian cause in its broadcasting programs.
At the end of the session of the Arab League information ministers council at the headquarters of the Cairo-based pan-Arab body, the participants called on Arab programs to focus on celebrating selecting east Jerusalem as the capital of Arab culture for 2009 and highlighting Israel's digging works in the vicinity of al-Aqsa mosque, an old historic Islamic shrine in southern Palestinian territories.
The Arab information ministers called for repairing the Palestinian radio and TV stations shelled by Israel, underlining the Israeli occupation of the Golan Heights and offering media support to Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Sudan and Somalia.
They also decided to form a team of experts to screen fake concepts from Arab media and endorsed the bylaws of an Arab e-media committee. The AL general secretariat will take all needed measures for the committee to come into force.
In a press statement, the AL council announced that the Arab States Broadcasting Union was tasked with considering the establishment of a multilingual Arab satellite TV channel.
Arab information ministers also welcomed the signing of the memorandum of understanding on strengthening the Arab-China information exchange and cooperation during the first forum on China-Arab information cooperation jointly organized by the State Council Information Office of China and the AL secretariat in April in Beijing.
Head of State Council Information Office Wang Chen, who arrived here on Tuesday at the invitation of AL, attended the opening ceremony of the AL information ministers council session and delivered a speech, calling for enhancing information cooperation between China and Arab countries.
