Cairo — Communication Minister Hamid Grine called Thursday in Cairo on the Arab media to connect their efforts to “counter the destructive practices and obscurantist ideas conveyed by terrorist groups.”
In his address to the 46th meeting of the Arab Information Ministers Council, Grine urged the Arab media to develop and renew the Arab media discourse to spread the values of tolerance and acceptance of the other, and deal with intellectual and religious radicalization.
He also emphasized the importance of supporting and accompanying efforts to eradicate unemployment, illiteracy, illegal emigration and cybercrime.
The multifaceted issues and the challenges facing the Arab region including the phenomena of terrorism and radicalization, the tendentious campaigns to stir up trouble and tensions in order to plunder the wealth and hinder development efforts in the Arab world, require the development of a media strategy tailored to the Arab media system, said the minister.
This strategy must be given new mechanisms that may spur a media and IT qualitative leap, he insisted.
