Jordanian Minister of State for Media Affairs and the government’s official spokesperson Faisal Shboul received Monday Head of Egypt’s Supreme Council for Media Regulation (SCMR) Karam Gabr and his accompanying delegation.
During the meeting, Shboul and Gabr underscored the strategic cooperation between Jordan and Egypt, which are a priority for King Abdullah II of Jordan and President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, Jordan News Agency (Petra) said.
The Jordanian king’s directives have always emphasized the need to maintain the distinguished relations and coordination and cooperation with Egypt at the highest levels, Shboul said, stressing that “our priorities are the same, our cooperation is one, and our horizons are limitless.”
Shboul pointed out to the importance of joint coordination and seeing eye-to-eye on various issues, especially the Palestinian cause and frameworks of joint cooperation.
He voiced hope to bolster bilateral cooperation in the media field, whether at the level of official media institutions or in terms of launching joint initiatives to control content on social networking sites and reduce the media’s lost profit from the advertising market.
In turn, Gabr said that the directives of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi have always underlined that Jordan’s national security is an integral part of Egypt’s national security, and have stressed the need to strengthen relations in various fields.
He hailed Jordan’s ongoing support for Egypt and its stances, pointing to the wise leadership’s persistent and constant endeavors to enhance Arab action and achieve security and stability in the region.
Within the framework of media cooperation and coordination, Gabr stressed the need to frame media cooperation within a joint team to address any issues or topics of interest to both sides, in addition to the close cooperation between the official media institutions in the two countries.
The meeting was held on the sidelines of the Arab media meetings hosted by Jordan on Tuesday and organized by the Secretariat General of the Arab League / Media and Communication Sector in cooperation and coordination with the Arab Commission for Satellite Broadcasting.
