(MENAFN- qf) Ajman, United Arab Emirates, February 25, 2025: The Ajman Department of
Tourism Development (ADTD) signed a cooperation agreement with Kalimat Group, a
leading institution dedicated to developing and publishing literary works and valuable books
for children, to publish and distribute an illustrated children’s book titled ‘Baba Hameed.’
The agreement comes in line with the shared goals of both parties to foster culture and
knowledge among children and adolescents by offering rich and diverse resources that
nurture a habit of reading and exploration. Additionally, it aims to cultivate a passion for
learning and a spirit of discovery, empowering young readers to unlock their potential,
expand their imagination and instil meaningful values. This, in turn, nurtures their character
development and equips them with the confidence and resilience required to successfully
navigate the future.
His Excellency Mahmood Khaleel Alhashmi, Director General of the Ajman Department of
Tourism Development, said: “We are excited to partner with Kalimat Group, a leading
institution that aligns with our belief that supporting the development of young children is an
investment for a prosperous future. Reading holds a vital role in enhancing critical and
creative thinking skills, opening new avenues of knowledge and culture. Through this
collaboration, we aim to support meaningful literary production that enriches Arabic content
for children, reinforces their cultural identity and instils positive values that empower them to
contribute towards a prosperous future.”
H.E. Alhashmi added: “We are dedicated to supporting projects that strengthen Ajman’s
position as a hub for culture and knowledge. We hope that the story of ‘Baba Hameed’ will
give a unique experience to children that stimulates their imagination and encourages them
to explore and learn through an engaging and innovative method.”
Ahmed Abdul Salam Al Ali, General Manager of Kalimat Group, said: “This agreement
embodies Kalimat Group’s dedication to fostering culture and spreading knowledge. It further
underscores our commitment to providing children and adolescents with greater
opportunities to learn, explore and embrace opportunities to create a brighter future. It also
reflects our commitment to forging alliances with local and international organisations, in line
with our mission to provide children and adolescents—especially those with limited access—
the chance to discover a wide selection of books and reading materials across different
subjects and genres, both within the Arab world and globally.”
This agreement complements ADTD’s efforts to nurture a culture of reading and knowledge
among younger generations as part of Ajman’s vision of becoming a leading cultural hub that
supports talented youth. The partnership highlights the importance of collaboration between
