Very good conditions were created there to improve our skills, learn new things, and cooperate with other media organizations. I participated in workshops on fact-checking, making news on social media, and how to distinguish fake news. It was very useful. I found new friends and held negotiations on cooperation. There was a good opportunity to get acquainted with the traditions, culture, and people of the Arab people. Before I knew it from the outside, but now I know it a little closer. The United Arab Emirates is a very developed, modern country. The people are hospitable and generous. I hope that in the future our relationship will be strengthened and there will be an opportunity to learn the culture and language,” he said thanking the organizers of the event.
