In an interview with Yemen Times the Director-General of Yemeni Radio, Dr Abdullah Ali Al-Zalab, says: “Media in foreign languages is strongly required as we are living a stage in which there are regional and international blocs and huge changes. Consequently, we should be ready because no one will hear us unless we attract their attention. We should rise up to the level of the challenge. Yemen is facing many political, economic and security challenges, and we need a strong media to target foreign countries in their own language and to hold a dialogue with others.”
However, he also says “there is a huge shortage in funds, whether for investment projects or the operational budgets of programs.”
