His Excellency Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of MBRF, said: “We believe that empowering individuals
and enhancing their capabilities are fundamental steps to achieve comprehensive human
development and strengthen knowledge pathways across all fields. Our strategic partnership with
the Abu Dhabi Arabic Language Centre is a significant step towards these objectives; it enables us
to further focus on developing Emirati human resources, fostering collaboration in areas such as
translation and intellectual creativity, and supporting digital and print Arabic content. This, in turn,
contributes to building communities capable of adapting to change and achieving excellence and
leadership.
“This partnership reflects our shared commitment to establishing the Arabic language as a tool for
cultural and intellectual communication. It allows for expanding the impact of initiatives such as Bil
Arabi and the Digital Knowledge Centre, enriching the local and global knowledge landscape, and
reinforcing the presence of Arabic as a key pillar in shaping identity and fostering sustainable
creativity.”
The MoU will allow the ALC to present its programmes at the various events organised by MBRF in
which it will participate. For its part, the Foundation will also showcase its efforts and initiatives at
cultural events overseen by the Centre, including book fairs and festivals, the Arabian Days festival,
and the International Congress of Arabic Publishing and Creative Industries.

The agreement will support efforts to enrich Arabic content published on MBRF’s Digital Knowledge
Hub platform, by leveraging insights and knowledge shared by ALC. As a further element of the
collaboration, the Foundation’s events will include a joint initiative titled Knowledge Break,
featuring a series of talks hosted by Abu Dhabi. The agreement also strengthens cooperation
between the Bel Arabi and Youth Knowledge Forum initiatives, which aim to support the Arabic
language and empower Emirati and Arab youth through collaborative programmes.
