MBRF’s participation aligns with its constant efforts to expand its regional and international presence at leading
knowledge forums, while highlighting its renowned and innovative projects, especially the Bil Arabi initiative. This
flagship initiative seeks to enhance the global position of the Arabic language, boost its usage across social media
platforms, and reinforce its role as a catalyst for knowledge and innovation. Furthermore, the initiative offers
specialized resources for Arabic language education, particularly for non-native speakers, positioning the language
as a cultural and knowledge bridge connecting generations with their rich civilization and heritage.

His Excellency Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of MBRF, said: “Our participation in the Istanbul International Arabic Book
Fair highlights our commitment to attending international knowledge forums annually to promote our initiatives and
projects. This contributes to seamless knowledge sharing and supports the sustainable development of communities.
At MBRF, we strive to build global platforms for intellectual and knowledge exchange, enabling audiences to discover
pioneering literary and scientific works while encouraging dialogue between thought leaders and creative minds from
around the world.”

H.E. added: “Through this participation, we aim to reinforce Arab identity and linguistic belonging by highlighting the
values of the Arabic language among its speakers and showcasing its beauty through initiatives that improve
linguistic research and translate global works into Arabic. These efforts broaden horizons for Arab youth and reaffirm
our commitment to supporting the Arabic language and driving innovation in Arabic digital content through impactful
partnerships with institutions and organizations participating in the exhibition.”

During the event, MBRF’s pavilion will also host meetings with entities and key stakeholders concerned with the
Arabic language promotion, alongside knowledge-focused activities with its strategic partner, the Istanbul Academy.
These efforts provide opportunities for greater collaboration and exchange of expertise to boost knowledge
dissemination.

The Istanbul International Arabic Book Fair convenes around 300 publishers from over 20 countries, along with
various universities, schools, and civil society organizations. It is regarded as the premier cultural and intellectual
gathering for the Arab community in Turkey and serves as the largest Arabic book fair outside the Arab world,
endorsed by the Arab Publishers’ Association.
