Arab Information Ministers council meets in Beirut
The 34th session of the Council of Arab Information Ministers was opened in Beirut on Tuesday. It was attended by representatives of 22 Arab states. The session was attended by the Syrian information minister Adnan Omran, the secretary general of the Arab League Amre Mousa, some 16 Arab ministers, several Arab deputy ministers of information and a huge number of pressmen.
In a speech he delivered the Syrian minister said that among other things the holding of the ministerial meeting in Beirut in such hard and delicate circumstances gains particular importance because Lebanon has offered the best example of steadfastness and resistance against the Israeli occupation.
He accused some Arab media establishments of contributing unintentionally to the support of the " Zionist" view point and help it propagate its methods of misinformation and delusion.
In a speech the secretary general of the Arab League Amre Mousa underlined the importance of drawing up a modern Arab information strategy capable of serving vital issues of the Arab nation, of coping with big technological, scientific and cultural changes and of developing a joint Arab action in terms of promoting Arab intellect and national performance.
