Members states of Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) have been asked to provide more assistance and co-operation through providing news, photos, investment and tourism policies to improve the NAM News Network for the benefit of other member states and the world.
The appeal was made by the General Manager of the Bernama News Agency Jamil Jaafar in his introductory remarks on the occasion of a workshop organised by NNN Secretariat here at Bernama headquarters on Monday.
The day long international workshop, attended by representatives from Pakistan, Singapore, Japan, India, Malaysia, Ghana, Kuwait, Russia and other countries, was focused to increase the "end users" of the NAM News Network which was launched in April this year.
The NNN (NAM News Network) has been launched by Bernama, the Malaysian news agency to provide a platform to 116 members of the NAM to share their experience, information, development and to know each other in a better way.
The General Manager of the Bernama Jamil Jaafar appreciating the contribution of the news agencies of the members of the NAM, emphasised the need to further expand this co-operation so that more and more information could be shared for the benefit of the member states.
He said the editorial policy of the NNN is "to uphold and ensure the ethics and canons of the journalism, accuracy, objectivity and common decency."
He said the NNN will handle news stories and images about NAM, from NAM and by NAM adding that the contents will be informative, comprehensive, wide-ranging and progressive on economics, socio-political and cultural development.
In the day long workshop, the participating, representing their respective news agencies exchanged views on various topics to improve the efficiency of the NNN and to make it a comprehensive portal for all the members of the NAM.
They also shared their experience and assured the NNN management to extend full co-operation and assistance in improving the web page of the NAM News Network.
Rachman Yeop Norodin, the Project Director of NNN, who conducted the day long proceedings of the workshop emphasised the need for better co-ordination among the members of the NAM to provide latest, up to date and accurate information on various subjects to the members of the NAM through the NNN.
Thanking the participants to attend the workshop, he expressed the hope that with mutual co-operation and assistance from the member countries of NAM and their news agencies, the NNN will become a source of permanent information for all the NAM countries and it would present factual, actual and accurate picture of all the events related to NAM members.
He said the NNN would also provide a chance to each member country of the NAM to project its economic, tourism and other policies through out the world.
