KUALA LUMPUR: A celebration was held on Monday in the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur, for the launch of the Omani Research and Studies Centre at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), to serve as a research platform that introduces Oman's history and civilisation.
The centre aims to introduce Oman's civilisation and achievements, focus on Omani studies, disseminate awareness of their value, and direct the attention of researchers, academics, and specialists towards preparing studies and research related to them. It also seeks to contribute to documenting scientific cooperation and enhancing cultural, academic, and research communication between the Sultanate of Oman and Malaysia.
Ahmed bin Saud al Siyabi, Secretary-General of the Office of the Grand Mufti, emphasised in the opening speech the importance of the Omani Research and Studies Centre in strengthening Omani-Malaysian relations and the cultural role it will undertake through diverse programmes and events.
Dr Rahmah Ahmad Othman, Director of the Omani Research and Studies Centre in Malaysia, said that this cultural and educational forum embodies the result of cooperation between the Office of the Grand Mufti at the Ministry of Awqaf and Religious Affairs in the Sultanate of Oman and the International Islamic University Malaysia, reflecting the Omani and Malaysian efforts to establish this diverse gathering that combines thought, culture, creativity and scientific research.
She added that this forum includes events such as the Omani Cultural Exhibition and the Ninth International Conference on the Role of Oman in Promoting Ethics: Theory and Practice, as a shared symbol of our commitment to ethical, cognitive and cultural leadership. - ONA
