00:01:02poses a challenge in
00:01:10the people we brought are at
00:01:26The 9 AM news bulletin from and conferences, and learning Syrian News. Welcome.
00:01:30President Ahmad Al-Shara' met
00:01:34reality. This transformation with a delegation of Syrian experts and specialists in
00:01:37permanent members of the Council, the technology
00:01:39who often disagree on and innovation sector, which included a number of employees
00:01:41in global technology companies, as well as entrepreneurs,
00:01:45investors, and researchers in technical
00:01:48fields.
00:01:50Honestly, our morale rises a bit when
00:01:53we see you, the sons of Syria, who were outside the country
00:01:56and succeeded abroad and tried to bring the experience of success back home.
00:02:01So, Syria will rely heavily,
00:02:04after God Almighty,
00:02:06in cooperation with on people who gained way to preserve Syrian experience from outside and had
00:02:11So, verifying a good opportunity. So, Syria has a great opportunity.
00:02:13We always talk with His Excellency the Minister. First,
00:02:16our geographical location. Second, that we don't have a digital infrastructure
00:02:20in Syria in the first place. So, this helps to bring in the latest
00:02:24global advancements. It's better than having something built from
00:02:27scratch and reaching
00:02:30medium or weak stages and then replacing it.
00:02:34and its countryside in cooperation This incurs very high costs.
00:02:37So, our geographical location is very good. You know there's a huge opportunity in Syria
00:02:40and rebuilding from scratch. This is very good because
00:02:44we have the challenge of the first five years.
00:02:47This contains the foundations upon which the future
00:02:51Arab Republic with of the state will be built. So, if it's built correctly,
00:02:54it will certainly continue for a long time.
00:02:57I mean, and one of the most important things
00:03:02of the Kingdom is an we talk about today, when we talk about reconstruction, is that digital infrastructure
00:03:04is always attached to it in all government
00:03:08institutions, in every building, even
00:03:10of King Khalid International Airport in in residential construction, even in everything, digital life is entering
00:03:13all details of life, as you know.
00:03:16So, this in itself indicates that there is a great opportunity
00:03:20an opportunity to benefit from for there to be a wide market
00:03:23like the emerging Syrian market.
00:03:25After its active engagement with It has good expertise, human resources, people with a capacity
00:03:30for learning, and at the same
00:03:32medical report. Applicants must also time, there's a great opportunity for reconstruction. And successful investment
00:03:35is always in countries that are in the process of building and construction.
00:03:39In self-sufficient countries, competition becomes difficult and the possibility
00:03:43of work. But every country that is in the stages of building
00:03:47reaches a peak after 10-15 years, then it may
00:03:50stabilize or decline somewhat, and growth becomes very slow
00:03:54because the market is very saturated, I mean.
00:03:58And President
00:04:00Ahmad Al-Shara' affirmed during the meeting that values
00:04:03individuals, in addition and ethics are necessary to keep pace with artificial intelligence and digital
00:04:07transformation. We also need something
00:04:10important, which is the presence of ethical
00:04:13values in parallel with the expansion of the digital state,
00:04:17given that social
00:04:20community residing in media had an important aspect and also had some
00:04:22negative aspects and somewhat negatively affected youth
00:04:26that enhances Syria's presence in awareness, and that it is a very
00:04:30large source of reception, and sometimes
00:04:33it exceeds human capabilities in the volume
00:04:37of information presented to the human mind daily, perhaps more
00:04:40than what was presented
00:04:44in an interview with Tripoli witnessed progress to the ancient philosophers throughout their lives. But this
00:04:46also has negative consequences because it results in unfocused
00:04:50information, leading to
00:04:55In the
00:04:55state while maintaining half-baked scholars, and allows for learning so he knows everything but is not specialized in
00:04:57the existing relationship with anything, I mean. So, these values are very
00:05:01important to be in line
00:05:02the roles played by Syrian medical professionals with intelligence.
00:05:05The President stressed that Syria is qualified to be
00:05:09a center for digital services due to its human
00:05:12capabilities and youth.
00:05:17digital technologies, data analysis,
00:05:20and processing, etc. So, it has negative aspects, but
00:05:23because it is the philosophy of development for
00:05:27humanity, it always progresses through stages, and we are currently
00:05:30in a transitional phase, let's say. It is
00:05:33purely human tools to more
00:05:37intelligent and digital
00:05:40tools. It is a vast field, as you know,
00:05:43its scope is wide, and Syria is very qualified, not
00:05:46just to serve it with providing digital
00:05:50services. It is qualified to be a hub in itself,
00:05:53and its location allows for this. It has strong
00:05:56human resources, it has a large
00:06:02the Syrian population is under 25 years old. So,
00:06:05this helps a lot. President Al-Shara' also pointed
00:06:09out that making information available to everyone through
00:06:12social media
00:06:15verifying its accuracy
00:06:17and credibility.
00:06:19Previously, information always
00:06:22needed an official platform to reach people.
00:06:26It needed a newspaper, television,
00:06:30a conference, a university.
00:06:32So, the means of issuing information needed
00:06:35official platforms or a university, for example. So, there was no one
00:06:39there. This is where verification happens.
00:06:48Yes, there are procedures for the safety of knowledge, that it reaches, or is it reaching correctly or reaching
00:06:51incorrectly? And its supervision is also
00:06:54from specialized people. Today, information has become
00:06:57widespread, meaning that anyone can
00:07:00access information. Anyone can issue
00:07:03information. So, is it being issued correctly or incorrectly?
00:07:07God knows. So, from here, our risk begins.
00:07:10So, verifying the safety of information,
00:07:13and because it has become the
00:07:16social media also gave a platform to all
00:07:20people that anyone can give anything.
00:07:23these matters is, in one way or another, has a negative
00:07:27aspect because there is no regulating body
00:07:29to verify the safety of this information,
00:07:33whether it is safe, correct, or incorrect.

00:10:50the capital Tripoli and the accompanying agreement
00:10:54to open the consulate in Benghazi, to confirm that Damascus's
00:10:58move does not represent an alternative path and does not seek any
00:11:02alignments, but rather falls within the framework of national

00:11:11to address the legacy of the former regime in a way that preserves

00:16:37of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Sa'ad Baroud, confirmed
00:16:40that the defunct regime entrenched divisions
00:16:43for more than 50 years as one of its means
00:16:46of governance, investing in sectarianism,
00:16:50religious fundamentalism, and regionalism. For his part,

00:19:05to support the efforts of the Syrian government aimed at
00:19:08strengthening social cohesion and achieving sustainable
00:19:12peace, confirming the organization's commitment to supporting

00:19:58of enhancing consular presence and expanding
00:20:02the geographical distribution of services.
00:20:06The Minister of Information,
00:20:17Dr. Khaled Zaarour, confirmed
00:20:21Al-Akhbariya that Syria's participation in media
00:20:25forums enhances its external presence
00:20:29from different experiences, and the exchange of experiences between
00:20:33Syrian and Arab media institutions opens
00:20:36wide horizons for launching joint media
00:20:40projects. Syria's participation in these
00:20:44forums stems from
00:20:47the importance associated
00:20:51forums that
00:20:54gather media professionals
00:20:57and many media experts in all fields contributes
00:21:01to learning about these
00:21:04experiences, learning about these experiences, a large
00:21:08part of which can be benefited from, for
00:21:11example, the experience of government
00:21:16Kingdom of Jordan
00:21:20can be benefited from, in addition to strengthening
00:21:26This strengthening, through which Syria's new
00:21:29vision can be explained,
00:21:33in addition to the vision of the Ministry of Information
00:21:36and how it will be, and I believe that these participations
00:21:40contribute in some way to strengthening
00:21:44with successful Arab media experiences.
00:21:48The Minister of Information also affirmed that facing
00:21:52increasing media challenges requires strengthening
00:21:55Arab cooperation to ensure professionalism
00:21:58and credibility and to convey accurate information.
00:22:01Training programs, of course,
00:22:05have started and some of them
00:22:08have transformed into a
00:22:10reality. So, I believe that visits, attending forums
00:22:16are not enough. It should not only be a mere presence, but it must
00:22:20transform into a practical
00:22:24contributes to developing experiences, as you
00:22:28know, the Syrian Revolution produced very
00:22:31distinguished media cases. These cases need
00:22:34refinement, they also need
00:22:38to export these experiences also, and in some
00:22:42way abroad. Also, the issue of cooperation
00:22:45regarding governance
00:22:48and rebuilding the media institution and media
00:22:52governance in the right
00:22:55privacy and to contribute to empowering this sector
