The International Association of Independent Journalists Inc.

As President and CEO of this international journalist association, Mr. Ali will attend and meet other stakeholders at the event which brings to a close the WSIS+10 review process as enabled under UN General Assembly Resolution (60/252).

Maurice says about the upcoming event:
