8/14/25, 10:01 AM MBRF showcases ‘Bil Arabi’ initiative at 10th Istanbul International Arabic Book Fair - Aletihad News Center

Furthermore, the initiative offers specialised resources for Arabic language education, particularly for non-native

speakers, positioning the language as a cultural and knowledge bridge connecting generations with their rich
civilisation and heritage.

CEO of MBRF, Jamal bin Huwaireb, 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.”

He 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 organisations 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 organisations.

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.
