He is Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, may God protect him, who called the officials of Arab culture from Ministers, directors and their strike, whom God Almighty has entrusted the nation’s secretariat in its language and culture, to announce an important official document, which will be a constitution to which everyone is bound.

Some international institutions that want to preserve their records and archives, because they know the stability of this great language and not others.

These creative elements guarantee us the future of our great language to be the language of our children and successive generations, as it was the language of our peoples since its inception thousands of years ago. This is a blessed inspiring map.

This is what was expressed by the sponsor of this declaration, and the bearer of the Arabic language and the civilization of the Arabs, the builder of the glory of Arabism, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, may God protect him, who said: “The Arabic language deserves many summits, because it is the pinnacle of beauty, breadth and comprehensiveness, and a vessel for civilization in all its dimensions. ».

He also said: "Within the summit, I witnessed the signing of the (Emirates Declaration of the Arabic Language) with the Arab Ministers of Culture and I signed it with them.
