Sharjah: Tariq Allay, Director of the Sharjah Government Media Bureau, stated that Sharjah's participation in the Global Media Congress (GMC 2024) for the third consecutive time underscores the importance of the event, which brings together local, regional, and international media organisations to exchange expertise and establish new working relationships.

These collaborations contribute to supporting and enhancing the emirate’s events, such as the Exposure, the annual international photography festival, and the "International Government Communication Forum," in addition to providing our team with the latest media methods and technologies, Allay told the Emirates News Agency (WAM) on the occasion of the launch of the third edition of the Congress today in Abu Dhabi.

He highlighted that this year’s Sharjah Pavilion at the GMC, with its unique design, aims to promote the emirate’s digital identity and showcase its cultural assets and diverse events held throughout the year.

The pavilion also features a collection of artifacts from the Sharjah Museums Authority and includes a section on artificial intelligence used for monitoring and disseminating news. He pointed out that the pavilion will host a cultural programme, including several interactive workshops.
