Syria’s Information Ministry will hold the International Media Conference for Confronting Takfiri Terrorism at Dar al-Assad for Culture and Arts in Damascus on July 24-25.
Information Minister Omran al-Zoubi said that more than 130 media figures from Syria, Russia, China, Iran, Turkey, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Egypt, Lebanon, Iraq, Algeria, Morocco, Bahrain, Jordan, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Cyprus, Britain, Germany, and Kuwait will participate in the conference.
Zoubi said the conference will issue a document to form the basis for future endeavors to confront Takfiri terrorism, noting the event holds special significance as it follows four years of terrorist war in Syria, and a time when historical developments are taking place, internationally and regionally.
The conference will discuss various issues including the role of mass media in confronting terrorism, journalism fieldwork, the formation of an alliance to combat terrorism, and future visions for mass media.
