Dubai, UAE- The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF) is
organizing a series of events in conjunction with World Arabic Language Day, which is

commemorated annually on 18 December. The key objective of these events is to promote
the use and preservation of the Arabic language as a key part of the society's knowledge and
cultural identity.

In line with World Arabic Language Day, which was set by the United Nations, the MBRF
launched the 11th edition of its 'Bil Arabi' initiative. The initiative, which was initially launched

in 2013, seeks to enhance the use of the Arabic language through digital media and raise
awareness of the language's aesthetics and values linked to authentic Arab heritage and
history. The initiative comprises various activities and panel discussions to celebrate the

Arabic language for an entire week. The programs target both Arabic-speaking and non-
Arabic-speaking individuals, intending to transform the stereotype of Arabic and highlight its

role as a global language that is capable of adapting to changes in various areas.

In line with the previous edition's success, which witnessed exceptional official and societal
interaction, this edition of the initiative is themed 'Arabic: The Language of Science and

Translation.' This year, 'Bil Arabi' places most of its focus on restoring the glories of Arabic,
