Dubai announces launch of Annahar Al Arabi news platform office

The Dubai Media Council and Annahar Media Corporation Wednesday announced the establishment of the Dubai office of the Annahar Al Arabi news platform. The announcement was made during a press conference held at the Dubai Press Club on Wednesday.

The launch of the new office in Dubai reflects the city’s emergence as a major centre for regional and global media and its ability to provide a growth platform for leading companies in the industry from across the world. The office is set to further enhance the regional reach of the Corporation which offers diverse content covering a range of political, economic and social issues of interest to Arab audiences.

Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Media Council, welcomed the launch of Annahar Al Arabi in Dubai.

“Over the last two decades, Dubai has developed a supportive environment that provides talent and institutions in the media industry a platform to prosper and grow. This has enabled the city to further consolidate its position as a leading destination for both organisations and individuals seeking to advance excellence across various fields,” Sheikh Ahmed said.

“Dubai’s rise as a leading media hub in the region was made possible thanks to the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to establish the city as a prominent hub for the media sector. The city gained the title of the ‘Capital of Arab Media’ for 2020 in recognition of its contributions to the industry and its ability to provide world-leading state-of-the-art infrastructure and high-quality services for organisations in the sector to grow and succeed,” he added.

Mona Al Marri, Vice Chairperson and Managing Director of the Dubai Media Council, said: “The launch of the new Dubai office of Annahar Al Arabi is yet another testimony to the success of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s strategy to establish Dubai as a global centre for talent and innovation in various fields. The initiative also reflects the Dubai Media Council’s growing role in accelerating the growth of the media sector under the directives of Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.”
