The Saudi Ministry of Culture signed in Jeddah an executive program with the Islamic World Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ICESCO) to cooperate in supporting intellectuals, writers, and artists from Arab and Islamic countries.

The executive program outlines several areas of cooperation, including capacity-building for Arab and Islamic artists and writers, and joint international participation. The program aligns with the MoU for cultural cooperation signed with ICESCO in Riyadh in 2022.

Also in the presence of Minister of Culture Prince Badr bin Abdullah bin Farhan, the ministry signed an implementation program with ICESCO to collaborate on the Illustrated Historical Dictionary of Arabic Calligraphy.
The program includes several areas of cooperation between the ministry and ICESCO, most notably the nomination of Arabic calligraphy experts from various institutions and institutes across the Islamic world to contribute to the dictionary through writing, editing, and review.

Additionally, the program involves collaboration in developing a framework for identifying the most renowned sources of Arabic calligraphy, including manuscripts, inscriptions, and artistic panels, across the Islamic world.
The program falls under the framework of the memorandum of understanding (MoU) for cultural cooperation between the two parties, which was signed in Riyadh in 2022.
