In its Final Communiqué (Declaration of Seoul) issued here earlier today concluding its 14th conference, the Organization of Asia-Pacific News Agencies (OANA) has confirmed that it seeks through unity and joint cooperation to solve problems and overcome the difficulties facing the media industry, especially the news agencies affiliated under its umbrella, pointing out to the problems and difficulties emerged with the new information age. In its Final Communiqué, OANA called to expand the exchange of news content to include news items that would include selected video clips, audio and television programs in addition to interactive graphs to meet the increasing demands of participants on the varied news. OANA stressed the need to sign inner-cooperation agreements to enable OANA's member news agencies to share information in these new services and find ways to make better use of such services. The conference also agreed on strengthening a system through which these new services could be shared at all times among OANA's member News Agencies.
