The celebration aimed to underscore the significance of Arabic as one of the

entailed three-panel sessions: ‘Philosophy and Poetry: The Contribution of
Arabic Poetry in Shaping Knowledge and Social Transformations;’ ‘Arabic

Language and the Arts: Expanding the Horizons of Cultural Diversity;’ and ‘Arab

Latinos: The Arab Influence in Latin America and the Caribbean.’ An additional

the Arabic Language and Social Cohesion in Europe’ was also organized.

Furthermore, the cultural events also included an exhibition titled ‘Building

Bridges of Understanding and Respect: The Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al Saud
Programme for Arabic Language’ that showcased the achievements of the Prince
