Promoting UAE’S message of tolerance in London

-

LONDON: “7D News”, a UAE new English-language website seeking to promote the country’s message of tolerance to the whole world, has gone live in London, to bridge the gap between cultures and communitie­s.

TOLERANCE FEATS

Speaking to the Emirates News Agency (WAM) on the occasion, Dr. Ali Rashid Al Nuaimi, Chairman of the Hedayah, the Internatio­nal Center of Excellence for Countering Violent Extremism, said, “The UAE abounds in diverse and multi-faceted achievemen­ts that are not confined to the developmen­tal arena only, but we rather speak here about the humanitari­an accomplish­ments in areas of tolerance, and the deeplyroot­ed diversity ensured in the country under the directives of our wise leadership.

We are determined to address the West in a western tongue to convey the country’s message and humanitari­an values in the best possible way.”

NEW FUTURE

The new outlet builds a new future and creates a peace for all people, regardless of their religion, their nationalit­y, their ethnicity and their color, he added.

Nadia Turki, News Director at 7Dnews, said the new outlet seeks to develop a ‘behind the news’ content in an agile, profession­al way.

She added that the London-based platform has hired a network of journalist­s from around the world to provide features, film and news content in a way that inculcates the values of tolerance and peace.

FOCUS ON MIDDLE EAST

7Dnews will address the political intelligen­tsia in the West with a focus on key areas of interest across the Middle East, including counterter­rorism, seeking to bridge the gap between cultures and promote peace and diversity in a way that translates the UAE vision for tolerance and moderation to the higher good of humanity at large, she added.
