He noted the key role of Bahrain press as a partner in supporting the development and democratic march. He pointed out the need to work on achieving the aspirations of HM the King by continuing to foster the Bahraini identity and promote values of patriotism and allegiance to the nation.
The minister also underlined the need for the press to honor its national responsibilities by increasing its capability in confronting misinformation and the discourse of hatred in order to preserve hard-won gains. He said that HM the King’s emphasis on the significance to reach an international formula to incriminate all discourses of hatred is an important initiative that reflects an enlightened royal vision regarding the risks posed by those discourses to people’s security, stability and welfare.
