Welcome to IPI World Congress 2013!
Dear Colleagues,
The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is ranked as one of the freest economies in the Middle East and North Africa. The capital, Amman, is the country's political, cultural and commercial centre, and among the most popular locations for multinational corporations to set up their regional offices, alongside Doha and Dubai.
I am pleased to announce that the next year's IPI World Congress and 62nd General Assembly is being organized in cooperation with the Amman-based Center for Defending Freedom of Journalists (CDFJ), which will chair the local organizing committee. The IPI World Congress will also coincide with the CDFJ's annual Media Freedom Defenders in the Arab World regional conference on which will occur two days before the World Congress. We encourage you to come a little earlier to take advantage of this very important joint conference opportunity.
