Riyadh has welcomed the fifth coordination forum for Saudi Arabic language institutions, uniting experts to explore the implementation of the national language policy. The two-day event, organized by the King Salman Global Academy for the Arabic Language, focuses on translating the national policy for Arabic language in Saudi Arabia from a regulatory framework to practical implementation.

The theme, "The National Policy for the Arabic Language in Saudi Arabia: From Regulatory Framework to Institutional Implementation," highlights the Academy's dedication to the policy, approved by the Council of Ministers.

The fifth edition of the forum, which convenes specialized organizations, signifies the Academy's commitment to fostering an integrated institutional framework for collaboration and support of national initiatives. Secretary-General Abdullah bin Saleh Al-Washmi emphasized the importance of Prince Badr bin Abdullah bin Farhan's backing, stressing the language's significance in the Kingdom and the importance of partnership in achieving linguistic goals.

The forum, held annually, continues the Academy's efforts to promote communication among linguistic institutions, exchange knowledge, and underscore the role of partnerships in Arabic language achievements. A special exhibition during the forum allowed participants to learn about ongoing programs, projects, and initiatives, further strengthening cooperation among the organizations present.

On the final day, the forum presented a set of recommendations to bolster institutional language work and enhance cooperation among Saudi organizations invested in Arabic language education.
