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.
