Amid nostalgia of the initial years of United Arab Emirates journalism and vows to stand by the Palestinians, the second annual meeting of the UAE Press Association turned out to be a politically correct and wonderful affair at the Al Bustan Rotana Hotel in Dubai.
Shaikh Hasher Al Maktoum, Director-General, Dubai Department of Information, was the chief guest of the occasion.
The Press Association of the UAE not only honored the services of the pioneers in the country's journalism, but also chose to send out a strong signal in support of the people of Palestine by announcing the launch of a “Boycott U.S. product” campaign early next month which would culminate with an extensive congress of similar associations from the region between May 13-14, Khaleej Times reported.
