The new IINA chief intends to expand cooperation with news agencies in OIC member states. “We will provide a common platform for these agencies to work together to protect the interests of Muslim countries,” he said, adding that IINA will recruit qualified journalists as part of the restructuring plan.

Kok said his agency would focus more on analytical reports and feature stories rather than breaking news. “We’ll prepare analytical reports on various events in the Muslim world and supply them to news agencies in OIC countries,” he said.

At present IINA distributes news and reports in Arabic, English and French to newspapers, radios and televisions in different parts of the world. The Qatar News Agency carries IINA news to at least 700 subscribers in the Arab world, Europe and America. IINA also sends its news bulletins by email to news agencies of Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Russia and the Central Asian countries.
