The Minister of Culture and Information Iyad bin Amin Madani pointed out that the Arab region needs an organizing environment that controls satellite television and broadcasting transmission. In a statement to reporters on the fringes of the meetings of the Council of Arab Information Ministers which started its 39th session here today, he said that there is a material potentiality to start implementation of joint Arab information movement plan abroad, noting that the Kingdom submitted its share for the first year. The minister of culture and information stressed that terrorism is a world phenomenon and it does not belong to a certain culture or religion. He noted the efforts of combating terrorism notably the International Counter-terrorism Conference held in the Kingdom which endorsed a number of agreements including the setting up of an International Counter-terrorism Center. Minister Madani emphasized the importance of disclosing the thought behind terrorist movements, adding that a normal man will find that this thought is deviant and has nothing to do with Islamic religion and human values.
