According to IINA news agency, the Islamic Broadcasting Union (IBU) will organize the event in cooperation with the Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) and Egypt’s National Media Society.
It seeks to raise awareness about the importance of radio programs in countering extremism and fostering the culture of moderation.
The gathering is also aimed at promoting the role of Quran Radio stations in the Islamic world in publicizing the values of Islam among the youth, and redressing the media smear campaigns against Islam and Muslims living in non-Muslim communities.
Also, the meeting is aimed at identifying the technical and knowledge challenges facing the Quran stations in the Islamic world, exploring ways to boost cooperation, coordination and expertise sharing among these radio stations, in order to disseminate the right information about Islam and publicize its values.
Officials from the Quran radio stations in the member states of ISESCO and the IBU, as well as media experts will take part in this meeting.
The first such meeting was held in Madinah, Saudi Arabia, in 2013.
