The 45th General Assembly of the Federation of Arab News Agencies (FANA), on Wednesday, decided to form an ad hoc committee to reunite Arab news providers, thus contributing to fostering further coordination and joint cooperation among them.

The move aims at reuniting state-owned news organisations, activating their current membership of the federation, attending its periodic and annual meetings and ramping up communications with international news agencies, Jordanian news agency, Petra, reported.
