(Abu Dhabi) – His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai received members of the board of the Arab Journalism Award (AJA). The meeting, which took place on the sidelines of the 12th AJA’s award-giving ceremony at Grand Hyatt hotel, was attended by H.H.

Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, and Director General of the Government of Dubai Media Office (GDMO) H.E. Mona Ghanem Al Marri.
Sheikh Mohammed commended the diligent efforts of the AJA board who served the award during their three-year term. He hailed both the Arab Media Forum (AMF) and the AJA as a platform for innovators in journalism and media which enables them to exchange views on a variety of Arab causes and diagnose the Arab ills so as to find out effective, applicable solutions to issues concerning the media and Arab citizen.
During his dialogue with the AJA board members, Sheikh Mohammed affirmed that consultations between leaders of the media and decision-makers help to crystalise the sound opinion because the opinion of two minds is more sound than that of one and the opinion of three persons is better than that of two.
