Bonn, SANA – Minister of Information Dr. Hamza al-Mustafa said that the ministry is working to review media policies to meet the aspirations of Syrians at home and abroad.
During his participation in a dialogue session at the Bonn International Media Forum on Tuesday al-Mustafa said “the current stage requires building a professional national media that adopts transparency and gives a real space to freedom of expression, within a framework that respects public values and protects the national interest”.
