(MENAFN- Orient Planet Group) 01 May 2024- Led by His Excellency Jamal bin Huwaireb,
CEO of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF), a delegation

of the Foundation visited the headquarters of the Islamic World Educational, Scientific, and

Cultural Organization (ICESCO) in Rabat, the capital of Morocco. The delegation was
graciously welcomed by Dr. Salim M. AlMalik, Director-General of ICESCO, at the main
headquarters.

During the visit, the MBRF and ICESCO discussed strategies to enhance bilateral
collaboration. This aligns with the agreement signed by both parties in March 2023,

highlighting the significance of leveraging their expertise and capabilities to strengthen
cooperation. The key objective is to foster knowledge advancement and reinforce the

capabilities of ICESCO’s member nations, thereby enhancing their position in the Global
Knowledge Index (GKI). The GKI serves as a guide for evaluating indicators, conducting

research, and promoting knowledge-related studies on a global scale.
Dr. Hany Torky, Chief Technical Adviser and Project Manager, UNDP’s Knowledge Project,
participated in a productive meeting focused on addressing the challenges presented in the

GKI report. The meeting underscored the importance of member states consistently updating
their data to maintain favorable positions that reflect advancements within the index-

monitored sectors.
