According to National Iraqi News Agency, Ambassador Ahmed Rashid Khattabi, Assistant Secretary-General and Head of the Media and Communication Sector at the League of Arab States, stated that these preparatory meetings will include a series of working group meetings. These groups will formulate recommendations to be presented to the Permanent Committee for Arab Media and the Executive Bureau of the Council of Arab Information Ministers for approval during the upcoming session in Tripoli.
