This edition featured the fifth General Assembly meeting of the forum, held at the Mohammed bin Rashid Library
(MBRL). The meeting reviewed the awards that recently joined the forum, explored the new Arab Awards Platform
launched by the Arab Thought Foundation (ATF), and outlined the assembly's upcoming activities. Additionally, the
meeting highlighted the forum's official website and the online platforms of participating awards. A key highlight was
the review of a study titled 'The State of Arab Awards,' led by Dr. Ashraf Al-Izzazi, Secretary-General of the Supreme
Council of Culture in Egypt.

Following this meeting, attendees explored various sections of MBRL, gaining insights into its extensive collections of
books and valuable historical manuscripts that document the development of human knowledge. An orientation
workshop was also conducted to familiarize participants with the Integrated ISO Guide for Quality Management
Systems in Knowledge, Innovation, and Artificial Intelligence, an important initiative by MBRF.

During the forum, various government institutions were honored for their contributions to supporting Arab awards that
advance creativity and excellence. Among the honorees were the Presidency of the Islamic Republic of Mauritania,
MBRF, the Abu Dhabi Arabic Language Centre, the Greater Amman Municipality, and the Supreme Council of
Culture in Egypt. In addition, MBRKA was recognized for hosting the forum this year and organizing this event.

As the forum concluded successfully, members praised MBRF's role in strengthening the Arab knowledge
ecosystem, emphasizing the forum's value as a platform for sharing expertise and fostering coordination among
various award institutions. They highlighted the importance of nurturing a culture of excellence and innovation, as
well as building knowledge-driven communities. Members also stressed the need for ongoing collaboration with the
ATF to stay current with new developments, and approved the agenda for future activities, including cultural courses
and specialized seminars. Additionally, members agreed to hold the sixth edition of the forum in October 2027.
