The Anwar Gargash Diplomatic Academy and New Media Academy, the first innovative academy of its kind in the field of digital media in the Middle East, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enhance cooperation between the two entities, and to exchange knowledge and expertise in areas of mutual interest.
The MoU was signed during the third edition of the 1 Billion Followers Summit, the world’s largest summit dedicated to the content creator economy.
The MoU outlines the exchange of information, research papers, and studies relevant to the areas of focus for both academies; collaboration in training, communication, initiatives, and events; sharing of institutional expertise across various projects; and the organization of meetings, visits, and discussion forums on subjects of shared interest and mutual advantage.
Dr. Mohammed Ibrahim Al Dhaheri, Deputy Director-General of Anwar Gargash Diplomatic Academy, said that, “At the Academy, we believe that investing in national competencies and enhancing the skill and knowledge of our local talents are critical for the success of diplomatic work, as well as achieving the UAE’s vision of building strong and sustainable international relations.”
“The Academy offers diverse and integrated educational training programs to better qualify current and future generations of diplomats and to provide them with the necessary knowledge, experience, and insights into the contemporary practice of diplomacy. This inevitably contributes to preparing a distinguished generation of ambitious diplomats capable of representing the UAE in various international settings,” Al Dhaheri added.
Ali AlHammadi, CEO of the New Media Academy, noted that “the signing of this MoU with Anwar Gargash Diplomatic Academy reflects our commitment to establishing strategic partnerships with leading academic institutions. We are dedicated to supporting national efforts aiming to foster local talents in digital media, hone the skills of current and future diplomats, and equip them with the tools aligned with the requirements of an accelerating digital age.”
