RIYADH: A special training course on the Arabic language is being held in Kyrgyzstan, organized by the Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud Foundation.

The course, from Sept. 15-18, is being held in cooperation with the Islamic World Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization and in partnership with Bishkek State University. It is part of the Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud international linguistic training program.

The partnership aims to equip educational institutions in Kyrgyzstan with modern tools for teaching Arabic, while also paving the way for sustainable cooperation in language education and research initiatives.

The course is part of the program’s broader aims to promote the Arabic language and strengthen its teaching and learning in non-Arabic-speaking countries, particularly Central Asia.

The development of academic and cultural partnerships means the foundation’s programs have expanded to countries including the US, Italy and South Korea.
