Conscious of the need for an ever wider
knowledge and
understanding of the various
aspects of
life in other
participating States,
Acknowledging the
contribution of this process to the growth
of
confidence between peoples,
Recognizing the importance of the

dissemination of
information of all kinds, to
encourage co-

field of
information and the
exchange of
information with other
countries, and to
improve the
conditions
under which journalists from one
participating State exercise
their
profession in another
participating State, and
