KAU marks World Arabic Language Day
 
King Abdulaziz University (KAU) joined world-wide celebrations of the World Arabic Language Day on December 18th,  the date on which the UN General Assembly designated Arabic as the sixth official language of the United Nations.
 
Arabic became a UN official working language on 18 December 1973 by virtue of a United Nations General Assembly resolution.

An introductory speech was given by Prof Assim Hamdan on behalf of the teaching members of staff.

A number of lectures were then delivered during the event.

In his speech, Prof Osama Jastaniah, Dean of the Faculty of Arts and humanities, said the event was held as a strong gesture and testimony of the importance of the Arabic Language.

The Day was also marked, Thursday, by the Institute of Arabic Language for Speakers of Other Languages.

A number of lectures were given during the celebration on the Arabic calligraphy.
