Dubai: His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, on Wednesday attended the inaugural session of the Arab Media Forum in Dubai.
In his inaugural address to the forum, Shaikh Maktoum Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, welcomed the Arab media delegates and said that Dubai has become a leading media centre.
“Under the visionary leadership of His Highness Shaikh Mohammad, Dubai had long envisaged the importance of media, hence its massive investments in media projects such as Dubai Media City, Dubai Internet City and Dubai Media Forum, which has now become an invaluable venue for Arab media personalities,'' said Shaikh Maktoum.
