Journalists in Asean should share views on regional issues, says Fahmi


JAKARTA: Malaysian and Indonesian journalists need to discuss regional issues that can impact both countries, including the Rohingya crisis in Myanmar, says Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil (pic).

He said on Monday (Feb 6) he believed that such discussions through, for example, a forum at the Asean level involving journalists in the region would help raise questions and improve understanding of the issues.
