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
