ANKARA (AA) – Saleh al-Gabri, head of the Istanbul-based New Yemen Media Center, visited Anadolu Agency’s Ankara headquarters on Monday, where he met with agency Deputy Director-General and Editor-in-Chief Metin Mutanoglu.
Al-Gabri’s visit was aimed at discussing means of enhancing cooperation between his media center and the Turkish news agency.
“We came here today to give a presentation about our media center in hopes of benefiting from Anadolu Agency’s deep experience, particularly in terms of journalistic training,” al-Gabri said.
“The visit also aims to foster a partnership with Anadolu Agency in various fields,” he added.
Mutanoglu, for his part, thanked al-Gabri for his visit, expressing the agency’s readiness to bolster cooperation with the Istanbul-based media center.
He also expressed the agency’s willingness to provide training for Yemeni journalism students through the agency’s war reporting training program.
Established four months ago, the New Yemen Media Center hopes to eventually become one of Turkey’s leading sources for news coverage from Yemen.
