UAE is gaining global attention; national media to convey our fascinating story to the world: Sheikh Mansour

Abu Dhabi - Sheikh Mansour chaired the first meeting of the recently formed National Media team.

Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Presidential Affairs, has stated that the UAE has become a global media magnet thanks to the strategic, landmark projects and initiatives adopted by the nation across 2020, primarily the launch of the Emirates Mars Mission 'Hope Probe', and Barakah Nuclear Power Plant, the signing of the Abraham Accords Peace Agreement, and the successful management of the Covid-19 pandemic despite its repercussions on the global economy.

Sheikh Mansour made the statements during the first meeting held by the National Media Team following its formation under a cabinet decision recently.

"Thanks to the fast-paced and multi-faceted developments and achievements made across all fronts over the past 5-10 years, the UAE is now boasting a distinctive media status at a time the world is witnessing historic changes in the field of media and information exchange," he said, noting the steady and confident steps taken by the UAE national media to deliver the future and develop its mechanisms and tools in order to keep pace with the current global changes.

"The significant achievements made by the UAE require multilingual media platforms that can reach out beyond cultural, language and geographical barriers and communicate our values and ideas. We have a lot of successful and fascinating stories we need to convey to the entire world through our national media. We need to reflect to the entire world the environment of peace, co-existence, tolerance and decent life we have in the UAE. Therefore, we need a different media perspective that serves the objectives of our national development drive and goes in line with the State Policy."
