CAIRO - 15 January 2019: Higher Education and Scientific Research Minister Khaled Abdel Ghaffar asserted the depth of ties between Egypt and the United Arab Emirates in the various domains, particularly in the education and scientific research.

This came during his meeting with CEO of Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF) Jamal bin Huwaireb and his accompanying delegation.

During their meeting, Abdel-Ghaffar said that there is a possibility of boosting cooperation between the Egyptian Knowledge Bank and "Qesaty" Initiative, affiliated to the Dubai International Program for Writing, and "Bil Arabi" Initiative.

For his part, Huwaireb lauded Egypt's pivotal role at the international level as it possesses untold wealth of distinguished scientists in many different scientific fields.

The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation, in cooperation with the Education Ministry, launched the short story contest "Qesaty" to promote Arabic language and arts among prep and secondary school students, as well as faculty members and administrators in the UAE.

This aims to draw attention to the building of the folk tale, the dissemination of cultural values among the members of society, the preservation of oral cultural heritage and the consolidation of the popular heritage in the hearts of the people of the state.

As for "Bil Arabi" Initiative, the Foundation adopted the initiative and launches it every year on the same day, the "Arabic Language Day" as set by the United Nations General Assembly on December 18 of each year.

The initiative is keen to celebrate Arabic language on its international day by encouraging using exclusively the Arabic language in all social media: Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram throughout the Arabic Language Day. It focuses on providing a variety of activities covering most of the digital media channels and social media, and spreading awareness of the beauty of the Arabic language and its treasures, which are linked to our heritage and authentic Arab history.
