Sheikh Khalid bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Member of the Executive Council and Chairman of Abu Dhabi Executive Office, has approved the Arabic Language Centre's strategy for 2020 to 2025.

The strategy will prioritise four key objectives to elevate and promote the Arabic language in culture, innovation and education.

The aims of the strategy include using Arabic content in all fields and activities, developing digital platforms in the language and encouraging scientific research to promote it at all levels.

The strategy also wants to highlight Arabic as a language of science, culture and creativity.
