Editors-in-chief of three international media websites have agreed to sign a cooperation protocol for the simultaneous publication of articles in Arabic and English.

The writer Mohamed Munir, journalist at Al-Ahram, founder and editor-in-chief of (Middle East Business) and (Life Arabia), which are published in Arabic, English, and Chinese, invited Ashraf Aboul-Yazid, president of the Asian Journalists Association and editor-in-chief of the Arabic edition of the Future News Network (AsiaN), published in Seoul in Korean, English, and Arabic, and the veteran Pakistani journalist Nasir Aijaz, editor-in-chief of Sindh Courier (Sindh Courier), to join a joint protocol that allows writers of the three platforms greater space to interact with readers in Asia, Africa, and the world.

Silk Road of Media

Ashraf Aboul-Yazid stated that the protocol will not only expand the scope of reception but will also represent a new Silk Road of media, with its rich stations through opinion columns and various fields of journalistic writing. The writers of the three websites hail from more than fifty countries. The protocol will be a living table for dialogue and a vision of new ideas, discussing common concerns and proposing new solutions.

Bridge of Knowledge

Nasir Aijaz enthusiastically welcomed the proposal, emphasizing that the proposed mutual publishing initiative will not only expand the reader base but also act as a bridge between countries worldwide, especially Sindh and Pakistan, proving to be a significant source for spreading knowledge about culture, economy, political scenarios, and other life areas in the relevant regions, which were home to great civilizations.

In fact, union journalism allows media institutions from different countries to share their unique perspectives and stories, providing readers with a more diverse and comprehensive understanding of different cultures and tourist destinations. Through content sharing, media institutions can reach a wider audience across various countries, helping to promote cultural exchange and tourism opportunities on a global scale. This initiative will also help us access high-quality content from each other without the need for extensive resources or investments. This collaboration will enhance the sense of a global community and cooperation in promoting cultural understanding. Furthermore, union journalism will strengthen the credibility and accuracy of the information exchanged, helping to promote cultures and tourism in a more trustworthy and reliable manner.

Broader Horizons

Mohamed Munir, founder and editor-in-chief of Middle East Business and Life Arabia, said, "We at (Middle East Business) and (Life Arabia) are proud to collaborate with (AsiaN) and (Sindh Courier) in this international protocol. This partnership will enable us to offer diverse and rich content to our readers in Arabic, English, Chinese, and Korean. We believe that exchanging articles and ideas across these platforms will enrich our readers' experience and broaden their horizons.

This collaboration is an important step towards building a media bridge connecting different cultures and societies, enhancing understanding and mutual appreciation. We look forward to offering content that addresses the issues and concerns of societies in Asia, Africa, and the world as a whole, focusing on presenting new solutions and perspectives for shared challenges.

We are pleased to be part of this growing media network and look forward to effectively contributing to this initiative that enhances cultural exchange and broadens awareness among different peoples.

Adding, "This protocol is not just a media collaboration but a platform for exchanging ideas and experiences between multiple cultures. We strive to be a bridge through which readers can cross into new horizons of knowledge and culture. Our goal is to provide content that is deep, diverse, accurate, and reflects multiple viewpoints from around the world. Through this collaboration, we hope to have a positive impact on communities by promoting mutual understanding and highlighting inspiring stories and experiences from different cultures. We look forward to this protocol being a window through which Arab and foreign pens can view the world, contributing to spreading awareness and knowledge. In an era of rapid events and developments, we see this collaboration as an opportunity to provide comprehensive and balanced coverage, reflecting reality in all its dimensions, respecting our readers' intellects, and enriching their understanding of the world around them."

New Partnerships

Munir concluded his speech, saying, "We consider this collaboration with (AsiaN) and (Sindh Courier) just the beginning of a new and ambitious phase in our media journey. We look forward to expanding our network by establishing partnerships with major media institutions around the world for joint publishing. Our goal is to create an international media network that contributes to enhancing cultural and knowledge communication between different peoples and cultures. We believe these partnerships will open new horizons for exchanging diverse and rich media content, benefiting all participating parties.  This type of collaboration enhances the chances of providing more comprehensive and diverse media coverage and helps build a deeper and broader understanding of global issues.
