2/21/24, 5:14 PM Statement of Ahmad bin Meshar, SLC Secretary General on International Mother Language Day
The UAE has distinguished itself as a trailblazer in preserving the mother language
through its comprehensive array of initiatives and projects. The nation has exerted a

considerable influence in promoting the use of Arabic language, emphasising its cultural

significance and humanitarian message.

We, at the SLC, strongly advocate for collective endeavours to uphold and fortify our

native language. We are committed to implementing initiatives that promote the proper

use of Arabic language, both within workplace and in legislative drafting. One noteworthy
initiative we have undertaken is the ‘Arabic Coffee’ initiative, designed to bolster and

revitalise the enduring essence of Arabic language. Today, we reaffirm our commitment to
preserving our linguistic heritage and to empowering the Arabic language, while also

broadening our understanding and appreciation of language and culture. This
commitment aligns with our goal to facilitate the interpretation of legal texts, ensure their

lucidity, and streamline the legislative process.”
