The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Ms Anita Demetriou, held a meeting today with the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the CBC Mr Joseph Joseph Joseph and members of the Board. During the meeting, Mr. Joseph gave an extensive briefing to the Speaker of the House of Representatives on the scope of action of CIFA as a basic and objective information portal for all media, focusing on its recent staffing with a sufficient number of journalists, as well as on its technological upgrade, factors which, it was said, have opened new avenues for the development of CIFA as a state information organization.
During the meeting, issues of common interest were also discussed, as well as ways of further strengthening the already existing cooperation between CIF and the Parliament in terms of informing citizens about the actions of the Parliament, and developing new fields and actions through various forms of cooperation.
In the context of an exchange of views, the need to maintain an open channel of communication between the Parliament and CIF was stressed on both sides, for the benefit of better information and education of the citizen, which is deemed necessary and must continue, despite the technological upgrade of the Parliament and its recent independence in terms of individual services. Within the same framework, a joint commitment was made to develop in the near future cooperation at a technocratic level and to map out a plan to support the Parliament in its efforts to make use of the various modern media.
