The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF) signed a Memorandum

of Understanding (MoU) with the Akdemistanbul Language Center to strengthen and promote
the use of the Arabic language.

The MoU was signed virtually by His Excellency Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of the MBRF, and Dr.
Muhammed Ağirakça, Director General of the Akdemistanbul Language Center. The MoU seeks

to reinforce the strategic partnerships between the two parties by enhancing cooperation in
knowledge resource management, launching initiatives, and organizing research and

knowledge forums, which will foster an institutional culture that promotes knowledge sharing.
The ‘Bil Arabi’ initiative launched by the MBRF in 2013 is significant in this regard, as it

encourages Arabs to use their mother tongue on the web and social media channels, as well as
contributes to preserving and advancing the Arabic language.

The MoU further stipulates that the parties may organize the ‘Bil Arabi Dialogues,’ one of the
ongoing activities of the ‘Bil Arabi’ initiative throughout the year. It additionally outlines the

exchange of publications, books, periodicals, and research pertaining to the Arabic language,
establishing knowledge and scientific activities, joint community service projects, and carrying
out awareness-raising initiatives in the media.

H.E. Jamal Bin Huwaireb expressed his delight in signing the MoU with Turkey’s largest
language education center. He added that the MoU aligns with the MBRF’s goals of knowledge
dissemination, elevating the Arabic language’s role, fostering its use, and advancing the

language’s position in global society and among Arab youth in particular. Bin Huwaireb pointed
