HE the CEO of Qatar Media Corp sheikh Abdulaziz bin Thani al-Thani said in an interview with Qatar News Agency (QNA) that the corporation's first participation in the 40th edition of the international television and digital entertainment festival is an opportunity for Arabs to tell their story themselves to the world through television, drama and documentary production, which combines the originality of content and global artistic production standards.

He pointed out that translated series have become a means of global communication, citing in this context the role of Turkish, Korean and Hollywood series, which are watched all over the world, in conveying the values and culture of the people who produced them.
