Information minister: Syria is moving ahead with rebuilding its media institutions and strengthening its Arab presence

Syria ·

Minister Khaled Zaarour, speaking at the 56th regular session of the Arab Information Ministers Council, said Syria is working to restructure its national media system and develop the legislation governing media work. He stressed a professional, free and responsible media based on credibility, pluralism and protecting civil peace.

Syria's media sector was tightly controlled by the state for decades under the Assad family's rule, and its institutions are being restructured after the change of government in late 2024.
