Secretary General of Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud Foundation Prince Faisal bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz stressed that the World Arabic Language Day celebration, organized by the foundation in collaboration with UNESCO and Saudi Arabia's Permanent Delegation to the organization, and held in Paris last Wednesday, provided a prominent platform to emphasize the significance of the Arabic language and its vital role in shaping the cultural and civilizational identity of Arab and Islamic nations.

He mentioned that it was a remarkable opportunity to explore the challenges faced by the language in the digital era, as well as ways to promote it through AI and innovation.

He also praised UNESCO's role and its great interest in the Arabic language, as well as the organization’s continuous efforts to support events that highlight the Arabic language as a global human heritage.

He also acknowledged the efforts of Saudi Arabia's Permanent Delegation to UNESCO for its active and distinguished role in holding the celebration, and for its diligent work in promoting the Kingdom's position as a hub for the Arabic language regionally and internationally.

Prince Faisal noted that the foundation's support for this celebration aligns with the Saudi Vision 2030, which places special emphasis on the Arabic language as a tool for global communication and a source of creativity and innovation.

He also highlighted the foundation's commitment to fostering collaboration with both international and local institutions to promote the Arabic language, utilizing avenues such as scientific research, technological initiatives, and cultural and educational activities.
