Doha, Qatar – The president of the Green Zone Foundation (GZF), Darwish S. Ahmed Alshebani, and the president of the multiplatform news network teleSUR, Patricia Villegas, held a working meeting in Doha to strengthen bilateral cooperation.
The parties agreed to step up joint efforts to promote cultural and media collaboration. These efforts are aimed at fostering a deeper understanding of Latin American and Caribbean diversity within Arab nations.
Key Agreements Reached
In this regard, the parties agreed to include more news in Arabic generated by teleSUR on the GZF website.
It was also decided that podcasts would be produced from teleSUR’s News Production Centers in Havana (Cuba) and Caracas (Venezuela). While the Latin American media will provide the technological infrastructure, GZF will provide logistical support.
As a final commitment, the parties decided to promote the teaching of the Arabic language online. Groups of journalists, both from Havana and Caracas, will receive classes using the platforms and applications made available by GZF for this purpose.
This cooperation stems from a strategic framework agreement signed by both institutions, whose central objective is:
âTo promote cultural development among the nations of the Global South. It includes strengthening ties and mutual understanding between the Arab world and the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbeanâ.
