The session also covered the political and civilizational aspects that fostered the development of
intellectual minds, including the translation movement at Baghdad’s House of Wisdom and the
role of Islamic civilization in preserving and advancing Greek and Roman heritage. The
discussion further explored the European Renaissance, which was facilitated by the contributions
brought to Europe through Latin translations, particularly in Andalusia and Sicily.

Additionally, H.E. highlighted the significance of investing in scientific and technical research,
along with creating an educational ecosystem that promotes creativity and critical thinking. He

further emphasized the importance of empowering Arab youth and fostering an environment that
nurtures innovation and entrepreneurship, thereby enhancing the position of the Arab world in
the global knowledge landscape. H.E. underscored that drawing inspiration from past successes
can motivate a thriving knowledge-based future, where Arab people can contribute to the
advancement of human civilization.

Through this session, MBRF and UNDP aim to foster a constructive dialogue on knowledge by
organizing a series of discussions with thought leaders and experts to tackle key developmental
and knowledge-related issues, while also providing solutions to mitigate these challenges.
