The Russian Ambassador positively assessed the agreement between Izvestia and Al Mayadeen

On March 20, Russian Ambassador to Lebanon Alexander Rudakov called the agreement on cooperation between the Izvestia Multimedia Information Center (MIC) and the Lebanese media network Al Mayadeen "a very useful event."

According to Rudakov, any interaction in the field of journalism and information exchange is very important because it opens up opportunities to influence the peoples of both countries.

"Given the information we provide, and the information provided by the Al Mayadeen channel, and their slogan or main driving force, "Reality above all," this is certainly a very useful event for our country, for the Izvestia holding company, and for the Al Mayadeen channel itself." The ambassador told Izvestia correspondent Viktor Sineok.
