Baghdad-INA
The Arab States Broadcasting Union (ASBU) commended Iraq's cooperation in facilitating coverage of Baghdad Summit on Friday.
Awad Eid, head of the Multimedia Exchange Networks Department at the ASBU, told the Iraqi News Agency (INA): that "The ASBU is interested in covering the Arab Summit, and is one of the media arms of the League of Arab States." He noted that "the Union had previously visited Iraq three months ago, and there is prior communication via email to coordinate the coverage requirements of the League's member bodies, as well as international agencies, as part of the media preparation process for the summit."
He added: "We came to Baghdad as part of a delegation that included the Director-General of the ASBU. We held a meeting with the Iraqi Media Network and the Prime Minister's Office. During the meetings, all requirements for covering the summit were identified, as well as how to provide the capabilities that facilitate the work of journalists in performing their duties."
"We seek to leverage the Arab States Broadcasting Union's platforms, whether online or through 4G and 5G networks, to provide advanced services in covering the event." Awad said.
He pointed out that "the ongoing meetings aim to provide a media center equipped with all the editorial capabilities journalists need."
