Sharjah Government Media Bureau - المكتب الإعلامي لحكومة الشارقة

Established under the direction, guidance, and patronage of His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, UAE Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, it is the official conduit responsible for all media and communication activities related to Sharjah’s governing bodies and the emirate as a whole.

An independent body, Sharjah Government Media Bureau empowers government communication and encourages the communication of uniform messages. It adopts a mature and responsible strategy inspired by the wisdom of His Highness, the Ruler of Sharjah, which is consistent with the UAE’s federal media policy and regulations, and adherent to the emirate’s authentic culture.

The ultimate function of Sharjah Government Media Bureau is to highlight the emirate’s ongoing progress and development as the region’s media and cultural hub. To achieve this end, Sharjah Government Media Bureau facilitates a dialogue for and with Sharjah’s government institutions and the media to elevate Sharjah’s status among the Arab and international media. In doing so, Sharjah Government Media Bureau provides a meeting point for media professionals to network with senior decision-makers in Sharjah and exchange valuable views on topical issues.

The idea of Sharjah Government Media Bureau was born out of the wise vision of His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, UAE Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah. The Bureau was established by an Amiri Decree, which states that Sharjah Government Media Bureau is an independent government body, created to reinforce Sharjah’s presence on the local, regional and global media landscapes while ensuring the accuracy of the information disseminated.

The Amiri Decree also stated that the bureau will be entirely responsible for all media related activities that involve the offices of His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah, His Highness the Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Sharjah and all of the emirate’s government authorities.
