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.
