Information ministers from across the Gulf who met in Saudi Arabia yesterday agreed to do more to coordinate their media efforts, QNA reports.

Qatar was represented by Sheikh Hamad bin Thamer Al Thani, chairman of Qatar Media Corp. and of the Al Jazeera Media Network. He and other officials said it is “imperative for the GCC countries to activate the role of the media and implement joint integrated plans to make media a key supportive for political action in general.”
