ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s ministry of information said on Friday Pakistan and Saudi Arabia would strengthen cooperation in the fields of media and culture by focusing on telecasting each others film and TV productions.
Minister for information Shibli Faraz met Nawaf bin Saeed Al-Malki, the Saudi Ambassador to Pakistan, on Friday and said relations between the two countries were “steadfast as ever.”
“They also emphasised exchange and telecast of TV plays and screening of movies in each other’s country as film is an important medium to promote and project cultural and societal values,” the ministry said in a statement. “Both dignitaries also agreed on production of programs highlighting the life and achievements of Muslim heroes, depicting the true Islamic culture.”
Last year, Pakistan’s then information minister Fawad Chaudhry had announced during a visit to the Saudi capital that Islamabad would soon export its television series to the Kingdom. Three serials have since been selected for dubbing, namely “Dhoop Kinare,” “Tanhaiyan” and “Aahat.”
