Her Excellency Noura bint Mohammed Al Kaabi, Minister of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said,
“’Bil Arabi stands as a strategic initiative that highlights collaborative efforts to preserve the Arabic
language and reinforce its significance as a key medium of communication and understanding in the
modern world.” She further emphasized that preserving the Arabic language is essential to uphold the
identity of the Arab world and its rich culture.
Her Excellency added, “The initiative goes beyond being a mere cooperative partnership, it also
represents a strategically effective approach to preserving Arab identity and heritage while fostering
stronger ties between Arab nation and global civilization. By prioritizing the use of Arabic language in
international relations and engagements with global organizations, this initiative not only upholds Arab
identity but also elevates its global standing.”
His Excellency Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD and CEO of DEWA, said, “We are pleased to be the
main sponsor of the Bil Arabi, the initiative that aligns with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed
bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to drive
development in the Arab world. This sponsorship also contributes to the UAE’s commitment to
preserving the Arabic language, which is recognized not only as the language of the Holy Quran but also
as the cornerstone of our national identity, history, and rich heritage. In line with DEWA’s social
responsibilities, we consider the promotion of the Arabic language as a national duty. This duty
underscores the significant role the language plays in reinforcing national identity, thereby strengthening
its components. The objective is to foster a united society that takes pride in its identity and a strong
sense of belonging.”
