The symposium witnessed the participation of Dr. Mohamed Safi Al Mosteghanemi, Secretary General of the Arabic Language Academy in Sharjah and Executive Director of the Historical Dictionary of the Arabic Language Project; Prof. Dr. Mohammed Al-Saudi, Secretary-General of the Jordanian Academy of Arabic Language; and Prof. Dr. Ibrahim Al Saafin, ALA Board of Trustees member and member of the Jordanian Arabic Language Academy.
The symposium discussed ways to strengthen scientific and cognitive cooperation between Arabic language academies in general, especially between the Sharjah Arabic Language Academy and the Jordanian Arabic Language Academy, highlighting the importance of using the Arabic language in all fields and at all scientific, medical and programming levels, and stressing the need to strengthen its role and position in the digital and virtual space and on social media platforms.
Dr. Al Mosteghanemi said: “The Arabic language is an essential component of Arab identity and culture, and a witness to our ancient history and glorious civilisation, which benefited from the global scientific, literary and cultural heritage, and succeeded in developing and harnessing it to create sciences and arts and explore new worlds, in addition to leaving our mark in the history of human civilization.”
Al-Saudi said: “We welcome the Arabic Language Academy in Sharjah to “Amman International Book Fair” and we are pleased with the joint coordination to organise this scientific symposium, which influenced the visions of promoting the use of the Arabic language and confirmed its leading cultural and cognitive role at the global level.”
On the sidelines of its participation in the pioneering cultural event, the Sharjah Arabic Language Academy reviewed the emirate’s cultural project and its efforts to protect the Arabic language, highlighting one of the most prominent linguistic and scientific achievements in the history of Arab civilisation, “Historical Dictionary of the Arabic Language,” whose executive committee is supervised by the Academy, which includes 11 academies from various parts of the Arab world, which has so far edited 9 “letters” in 36 volumes.
