ABU DHABI // Abu Dhabi Media and the UAE Red Crescent will work together to help promote the charity’s work locally and around the globe.
Mohammed Al Mahmoud, managing director of Abu Dhabi Media’s board of directors, met with Dr Hamfan Al Mazrouei, board chairman of the Red Crescent, to outline its ongoing support in common humanitarian goals and information exchange.
