Addis
Ababa: An India-Africa Media Partnership Symposium was
held Saturday in Ethiopia's capital city Addis Ababa, in line with
the 2nd Africa-India Forum Summit to be held May 24, Xinhua
reported.
The Symposium brought together journalists and media practitioners
from Africa and India to brainstorm on enhancing media engagement
and synergies to build an Africa-India multi-dimensional media
partnership.
Speaking at opening of the Symposium, Vivek Katju, Secretary with
the India's Ministry of External Affairs, said by bringing
together leading media personalities of India and Africa, the
symposium filled a critical gap in the interactive processes.
The symposium would help to establish direct contacts between
Indian and African media leading to partnerships which would
significantly contribute to the addition in the knowledge of each
other in all dimensions, he stated.
"I believe that such direct contacts will prove vastly beneficial
in fostering a greater understanding of each other," he said.
The symposium included different sessions which touched subject
like Understanding Indian and African media, and Connecting Media
and the Road Ahead.
The participants deliberated upon a practical approach to foster
closer media linkages, and the role of new media, use of
technology and desirability of stationing African correspondents
in India, besides setting up institutional mechanisms to exchange
information.
The Symposium on India-Africa Media Partnership will indeed build
the bridge in strengthening the cooperation ties between Africa
and India and bring to light the efforts done by both sides, to
better the living conditions of their populations, said the
African Union (AU).
