The tribute paid to M24 is an encouragement for the channel to continue its ongoing and renewed action, he told M24 on the occasion of the tribute paid by the FMEJ to the news directors of Moroccan channels.

The tribute ceremony was held on the sidelines of the constituent General Assembly of the federation's section in the region of Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima.

Morocco was in great need of a news channel like M24 to compete with foreign news channels, he added. The path set out by its Director-General Khalil Hachimi Idrissi has enabled the Moroccan News Agency to become a media hub and a future-oriented multimedia agency.

Mohamed Abderrahmane Berrada, a member of the Federal Council, praised MAP's efforts to promote the Moroccan press and media, reach a distinguished level, and open up to different media.

The Agency is a forerunner in all whatever contributes to the development of the national press and the promising beginnings of M24 channel testify to this.

The FMEJ paid tribute Friday in Tangier to Moroccan TV channels in recognition of their efforts and contributions to the national media landscape.

On this occasion, honorary trophies were presented to the news directors of Al Oula, 2M, Medi 1 TV, and M24.
