AFP launches Urdu news service

Agence France-Presse has teamed up with Pakistan news agency, Online International News Network, to provide stories in Urdu to people in Pakistan, India and other countries with large Urdu-speaking populations.

The agencies are expecting to generate an average of 50 news, features, sport and business articles a day.

The co-branded Urdu project is part of AFP's global strategy to develop local language services.

Last year, AFP launched an Indonesian-language news service and is planning to set up similar projects in Thai and Vietnamese in 2012.
