RABAT — Saudi Arabia's Minister of Media Salman Al-Dosari underscored the need for a joint Arab mechanism to address online content that deviates from religious, cultural, and moral values.

Addressing the 53rd session of the Council of Arab Media Ministers held in the Moroccan capital, Rabat, Al-Dosari called on Arab states to adopt a unified stance against international media outlets that publish deviant content.

He explained that publishing harmful content on the Internet is a common threat facing all Arab countries, calling for joint efforts to develop effective mechanisms to deal with such online platforms.

He conveyed the greetings of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and their sincere wishes for the success of the session.

The Saudi minister noted that since its founding, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has always supported Arab causes and solidarity in addressing regional challenges and transformations, citing the 32nd Arab Summit held in Jeddah last May and its call for enhancing joint Arab action.

Al-Dosari said several topics are listed on the agenda of the Council of Arab Media Ministers session, including the Arab Counter-Terrorism Strategy prepared by Naif Arab University for Security Sciences (NAUSS).
