Dhaka, Feb 13 (UNB) - UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has urged all to recognise the power of radio to promote dialogue, tolerance and peace, saying radio is a powerful tool.
“Even in today’s world of digital communications, radio reaches more people than any other media platform. It conveys vital information and raises awareness on important issues,” said the UN chief in a message marking the World Radio Day on Wednesday.
He said it is a personal, interactive platform where people can air their views, concerns, and grievances. “Radio can create a community.”
For the United Nations, Guterres said, especially our peacekeeping operations, radio is a vital way of informing, reuniting and empowering people affected by war.
