Franco Omeich: Efforts Must Be Made to Promote Democratic Thought in the Arab World

The media events organized by the General Secretariat of the Arab League's Media and Communication Sector, in cooperation with the Arab Broadcasting Union, concluded in the Jordanian capital, Amman. Sponsored by Faisal Al-Shboul, Jordan's Minister of State for Media Affairs and Government Spokesperson, the events included closed meetings of the Arab Committee for Electronic Media, during which they discussed the dangers of electronic games and the necessity of monitoring them.

Franco Omeich, Director of the Swiss Center for Democracy Support and Protection of Public Freedoms, praised the outcomes of the meetings, emphasizing that promoting a culture of peace and democracy is a duty for every individual in the world. He noted that governmental and official support in this field is not sufficient, and that the process must involve everyone, especially civil society organizations, international organizations, and official institutions.

The events also included discussions on joint Arab projects aimed at strengthening Arab media collaboration and promoting Arab culture worldwide through major digital platforms. This project was submitted by the United Arab Emirates.

In conclusion, His Excellency Ambassador Ahmed Rashid Khattabi, Assistant Secretary-General of the Arab League, praised the events and participation, noting that all the recommendations and projects presented were highly valuable. It is expected that they will be approved at the next executive committee meeting of the Arab Ministers of Information at the Arab League.
