Yemeni Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism Muammar Al-Eryani has lauded Saudi Arabia for its support to Yemen’s government to protect local heritage and antiquities, and increase institutional potentials to preserve cultural property.

That support is represented by the Saudi Ministry of Culture and the Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen (SDRPY).

The Yemeni minister's remarks came in a statement published by the official Yemeni news agency on Saturday.

He called for holding an international conference to preserve and protect Yemeni antiquities, and to mobilize the necessary financial and technical resources to help protect and maintain them.

He also called for agreements to protect Yemeni antiquities from illicit trafficking and drying up an important resource of terrorist financing globally.

Saudi Arabia’s King Salman Global Academy for the Arabic Language (KSGAAL), in collaboration with the Federation of Muslim Associations in Brazil (FAMBRAS), held in Sao Paolo on Saturday an expanded scientific forum on the Arabic language.

The Saudi ambassador to Brazil attended the forum's opening ceremony.

In a statement to Saudi Press Agency, KSGAAL Secretary General Dr. Abdullah bin Saleh Al-Washmi said that the academy is founded on the Kingdom's Vision 2030, which puts emphasis on the historical depth of Arab identity.

The forum aims to disseminate the Arabic language, strengthen the Kingdom's efforts to preserve the Arabic language and sciences, and foster integration and cooperation with relevant authorities worldwide, including in Brazil, he added.

KSGAAL’s holding of the forum is in line with its global linguistic and cultural initiatives, and fosters collaboration with institutions and organizations dedicated to teaching non-native speakers the Arabic language.
