The bureau discussed the proposals of Committee on Culture, Information and Tourism to study on the establishment of the Arabic language complex.


Dr Ahmed bin Ali al Mashikhi, Head of Culture, Information and Tourism Committee, elaborated on the proposed study.


Dr Al Mashikhi explained that it aims to strengthen the role of Oman in the promotion of Arabic as a global language and maintain the integrity of the Arabic language.
