Qatar News Agency has launched news services in three additional languages- Russian, Hindi, and Urdu- using artificial intelligence (AI), expanding its total multilingual coverage to eight languages.
The development is part of a broader long-term strategy aimed at enhancing the agency’s global reach and improving access to official news content for wider international audiences.
With this expansion, QNA now provides services in Arabic, English, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Hindi, and Urdu, strengthening its position as a multilingual national news provider.
Director-General of QNA, Ahmed bin Saeed Al Rumaihi, said that the initiative reflects the agency’s commitment to delivering the State of Qatar’s news and developments to global audiences in multiple languages.
Al Rumaihi added that the expansion supports Qatar’s broader objective of increasing its international media presence and highlighting the country’s developments across political, economic, cultural, sports, and tourism sectors.
Ahmed bin Saeed Al Rumaihi emphasized that the use of artificial intelligence in multilingual content production represents a key step in QNA’s digital transformation efforts.
According to him, AI tools are helping improve efficiency, speed, and consistency in delivering news across different languages while maintaining editorial standards.
Al Rumaihi also highlighted that the initiative aligns with QNA’s strategy to adopt advanced technologies in media operations and enhance its ability to respond to evolving global communication needs.
The agency has been progressively integrating AI solutions into its workflow as part of its modernization roadmap. In recognition of its innovation efforts, QNA previously received the ‘Innovation in the Use of Artificial Intelligence in News’ award at the Google Cloud Summit Doha 2025.
The award acknowledged the agency’s work in implementing AI-driven systems within its news production and distribution processes.
