Mr. Mohammed Juma Al Suwaidi, SLC Assistant Secretary General, stated: “The Arabic
Coffee seminar, held annually to mark World Arabic Language Day, serves as a significant
platform to emphasise the importance of the Arabic language in fostering clarity and
precision in legislative drafting. Mastering its rich vocabulary allows us to make meaningful
advancements in the legislation-making, ultimately fostering a society rooted in justice and
transparency.

Additionally, the use of Arabic within our community and government entities is crucial in
promoting the cultural and civilisational identity of the UAE. By prioritising our language
across various aspects of public life, we can strengthen our connection to our identity and
culture while contributing to community development.”

Mr. Salem Al Ahmad stated: “The Arabic Coffee seminar emphasised the richness,
eloquence, and historical significance of the Arabic language, which stands as a true cultural
treasure of the Arab nation. The Arabic language serves not merely as a tool of
communication but as a vessel for culture and civilisation. Throughout history, it has
profoundly influenced numerous other languages, underscoring its prominent role in the
narrative of human civilisation. We, at the SCL, are committed to supporting and promoting
the Arabic language through the ‘Arabic Coffee’ initiative and various other events. We
firmly believe that Arabic plays a vital role in enriching human civilisation, serving as a
medium for transmitting history, science, and art across generations.”

Concluding the seminar, Mr. Salem Al Ahmad reiterated the importance of mastering the
Arabic language, particularly for all employees, more specifically legal professionals involved
in drafting legislation. He emphasized that their proficiency in the language is essential for
enhancing the quality of legislation, fostering effective communication with the public, and
strengthening cultural identity.
