Abu Dhabi, Nov 17 (IANS) The possibility of publishing an overseas edition of the Chinese newspaper People’s Daily was discussed here Tuesday between the UAE’s National Media Council Director General Ibrahim Al Abed and the newspaper’s visiting delegation.
Once published from the UAE, the paper will cater to about 200,000 Chinese people living in the country, thus bringing them news from home and enlightening them on the culture and traditions of the UAE at the same time, WAM news agency reported.
