On Tuesday, March 31st, Jack Lang, chair of the Institut du monde arabe (IMA) and Marie-Christine Saragosse, chair of France Médias Monde, signed a partnership agreement to strengthen cooperation. The France Médias Monde Group includes France24, a trilingual news channel, RFI, a global radio station, and Monte Carlo Doualiya, a general-interest radio station in Arabic.
The agreement is for a renewable period of two years to “promote and supervise their partnerships and develop new collaborations.” The latter will be in different forms: establishing “a close partnership” between France Médias Monde’s channels and the IMA’s activities, while also developing “editorial projects by outsourcing certain programmes within the IMA, collaboration on learning Arabic and French.”
