KUWAIT, April 18 (KUNA) -- Kuwait is Tuesday to host the 41st meeting of the board of GCC Joint Program Production Institution under the patronage of Minister of Oil and of Information and Board Chairman Sheikh Ahmad Al-Abdulla Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah and with leading media figures from the region attending.
The institution's Executive Director Abdulmihsin Al-Bannai told KUNA Monday that the agenda covers the new production and marketing strategy, as well as the executive plan for the coming period which was drafted in view of the recommendations of the previous meetings of the institution's bodies.
The executive stressed the challenges of our times require change of approach and address, and it is time the institution shifts focus from a limited scope and exposure to a wider scope of operation to serve as an influential body.
Al-Bannai added there would be a list of new projects to be presented to management for consideration, including a main production which is a documentary on the resources of the Arabian Gulf.
The official said the Minister of Oil and of Information and Board Chairman Sheikh Ahmad Al-Abdulla Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah's support was invaluable, and also expressed appreciation for the support of Media Undersecretary and board member Sheikh Faisal Al-Malik Al-Sabah.(end) asm.tb.wsa KUNA 181148 Apr 11NNNN
