UNESCO Launches Publication on Arabic’s Legacy on Silk Road in Collaboration with ICESCO

Rabat, The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) launched its publication titled "Underlining the Role and Legacy of the Arabic Language in Cultural, Scientific, and Commercial Exchanges along the Silk Roads" in a launching ceremony hosted by the Islamic World Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ICESCO) headquarters in Rabat, Morocco on Monday. In his speech at the ceremony, ICESCO Director General Dr. Salim M. AlMalik said that the Arabic language sprung out of the Arabian Peninsula, the cradle of the message of Islam, reaching China, Central Asia, Turkiye and the borders of Europe, with translation from and into the Arabic language becoming an asset yielding rewarding returns as a result. Two discussion sessions were held on the occasion on the legacy of the Arabic language on the Silk Road, with the participation of Arab and Chinese researchers. Source: Qatar News Agency
