King Salman Global Academy for Arabic Language Launches Digital Govt. Dictionary

King Salman Global Academy for Arabic Language Launches Digital Govt. Dictionary

The King Salman Global Academy for the Arabic Language, in cooperation with the Digital Government Authority (DGA), is launching the dictionary of "e-government terminology" in Arabic.
The lexicon aims at unifying the concepts of digital government terminology and to avoid their differences and confusion in their translations and ensure the consistency of their use by providing a unified reliable reference for government agencies, researchers, and those interested in the field of digital government.
The Secretary-General of King Salman Global Academy for the Arabic Language, Dr. Abdullah bin Saleh Al-Washmi, voiced appreciation for the support of Minister of Culture Prince Badr bin Abdullah bin Farhan and the chairman of the board of trustees of the academy in launching the dictionary.

He also thanked DGA Governor Eng. Ahmed bin Mohammed Al-Soyyan for his efforts to activate cooperation among public agencies and produce the high-quality lexicon.
The dictionary includes the most important terms used in e-government according to what is stated in the rules and regulations related to digital government and the regulations issued by the DGA, with an interactive digital version to facilitate its use. The lexicon is arranged in alphabetical order in Arabic and English, in addition to displaying other related documents.
Among the expected outcomes of the dictionary are reducing confusion and misunderstanding of terms related to digital government, enhancing clarity and accuracy in communication, and accelerating the pace of digital transformation in the Kingdom.

The Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) and Dunhuang Academy​ have signed a strategic partnership to expand cultural, touristic, and heritage collaborations between Saudi Arabia and the People’s Republic of China.
According to an RCU press release issued on Wednesday, the partnership represents a pivotal milestone in Saudi-Chinese relations, bringing together Dunhuang Academy's eight decades of expertise in heritage research and cultural conservation with RCU's commitment to preserving and promoting the rich cultural heritage of AlUla.
The Dunhuang Academy is responsible for the management of the Magao Grottoes, a complex of 735 Buddhist caves in Gansu Province classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. The Mogao Grottoes are renowned for their exquisite murals and sculptures, representing a fusion of cultural influences along the ancient Silk Road.
"The new agreement unites RCU and Dunhuang Academy as custodians of unique heritage, history, and tradition," said the release.
Dunhuang Academy’s legacy of safeguarding the Magao Grottoes has consistently earned praise from international institutions such as UNESCO, the World Bank, as well as the Chinese government, SPA reported.
RCU and Dunhuang Academy will work closely to develop a comprehensive program of conservation that will extend to historic sites and artefacts in western China and AlUla. They will also collaborate on hosting academic exhibitions and initiating exchange programs between staff and scholars from both institutions.
RCU VP of Strategic Partnerships Silvia Barbone said: “China and Saudi Arabia share a long and storied legacy that has united people and places across vast distances and through millennia. Today, our efforts within the global heritage space are empowered by successful collaborations with leading institutions and landmark destinations.”
The partnership follows the Saudi Travel Expo launched by the Saudi Tourism Authority, in which AlUla featured prominently. The exhibit was held in Beijing’s Tian Tan Garden, showcasing AlUla’s natural and cultural heritage.
