(MENAFN- The Peninsula) QNA
Doha, Qatar: The heads of news agencies of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries have tentatively agreed today to establish the joint news application project for Gulf news agencies, proposed by the State of Qatar. This project allows citizens of GCC member states to directly access official news from the news agencies of the member countries.
During their 22nd meeting that took place using video conference, the heads of the agencies assigned Qatar News Agency and the specialized committees to work on creating this application. The application also enables citizens to watch live broadcasts of various Gulf radio and television channels, access photo and video archives, and follow the social media networks of each news agency.

The application provides a data retrieval service from various sources of news agencies within the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, importing the data into a database. This allows each country to access a supervisory dashboard, accessible to authorized individuals.
The attendees also agreed on the importance of forming a technical media committee to enhance cooperation and joint coordination among news agencies. This committee will facilitate the implementation of all recommendations related to the creation of this application. They also agreed to hold their next meeting in Qatar next year.
