WAM, EFE to sign new cooperation agreement
Abu Dhabi, Jan 14, 2010 (WAM)- The Emirates News Agency (WAM) and the Spanish News Agency (EFE) are intending to conclude a new agreement for boosting joint cooperation in exchange of news feed with special focus on multimedia in order better serve subscribers of both news providers from newspapers, e-papers, TV channels and other media outlets in the world.
Final touches of the proposed agreement were put during a meeting held at the National Media Council (NMC) between Mr. Ibrahim Al Abed, Director General of the NMC and WAM, and Mr. Fouad Abdul Rahim, Head of the Arabic Desk at EFE.
Mr Abdul Rahim said the agreement is a new step forward which will benefit both agencies and their base of subscribers across the world.
According to him, the commercial part of the agreement will leverage the bilateral cooperation to new heights under which WAM will distribute news services of EFE's Arabic Desk including video footages both in Arabic and English to media establishments in the UAE.
The agreement, he explained, will open the door for broader exchange of texts, photos, reportages and TV footages as well as media training of editors, photographers and cameramen.
In view of the second part of the agreement, the two news agencies will exchange news services especially TV news reports and relay them to their subscribers, a move which will deepen communication and interaction between them. This will give WAM the opportunity to promote and introduce the UAE culture, civilization and progress and other local activities to different parts of the world mainly Spanish-speaking language.
WAM and EFE have advanced multimedia technology through which they can distribute on time news feed via fibre optics and internet to thousands of leading papers in Europe, US, Latin America and the Arab World.
In January 2008, WAM and EFE signed a news exchange agreement as the a prelude for widening and boosting their joint media cooperation to cover various activities in areas of economy, media, politics, tourism, sports in the two friendly countries.
