His Excellency Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of the MBRF, said, “We are honored to mark World

Arabic Language Day, which is an opportunity to remember the significance of the language as a
key component of humanity’s cognitive and cultural diversity. We consider this celebration as an

opportunity to affirm the authenticity and strength of this great language and its capacity to stay
in line with the current developments in various fields. Our efforts are under the vision of His

Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the
UAE and Ruler of Dubai. At the MBRF, we consider it our responsibility to support and promote

the Arabic language and elevate its role. Our commitment is reflected in various programs and

initiatives we have launched, which aim at wider dissemination of the use and learning of the
language.”

The MBRF’s support for the Arabic language is reflected through various initiatives and programs

that contributed to exceptional achievements. The MBRF has distributed over 50 thousand books
of its publications to parent councils in the UAE’s schools in collaboration with the Emirates

Schools Establishment (ESE). This is part of MBRF’s relentless efforts to consolidate and
encourage the habit of reading among community members. The Dubai International Program

for Writing (DIPW), initiated by the MBRF, has also contributed to enhancing the status of the
Arabic language by providing training to young Arabs in writing and translation.

The MBRF commemorates World Arabic Language Day in line with its efforts to preserve and
enhance the use of Arabic in various fields and promote cultural values and pillars of knowledge

supportive of progress. It serves as a pivotal platform for promoting the Arabic language and
enhancing its understanding, as well as ensuring its value as one of the most renowned living

languages with a long-standing history and significant role in shaping human civilization.
