Statement by H.E. Ahmad Saeed bin Meshar, SLC Secretary General
“International Mother Language Day offers a valuable opportunity to highlight the crucial role that mother languages play in shaping cultural identity, preserving collective memory, and safeguarding heritage, while also highlighting the achievements and contributions of civilisations.
As our mother language, Arabic holds profound significance in the United Arab Emirates, reflecting our national identity and cultural heritage while embodying a deep sense of loyalty to the legacy of our forefathers. The UAE remains steadfast in its commitment to promoting the use of Arabic through various initiatives aimed at raising awareness of its importance, celebrating Arabic literature, and encouraging research and innovation related to our mother language.
At the Supreme Legislation Committee in the Emirate of Dubai (SLC), we recognise the importance of preserving our mother language as the cornerstone of our cultural and social identity. We are dedicated to implementing initiatives that ensure the precise and proper use of Arabic, showcasing its richness and profound civilisational significance. On International Mother Language Day 2025, we express our deep pride in our language and reaffirm our commitment to promoting its use within our workplace and legislative framework. The eloquence and unique capacity of Arabic to articulate legislative intent and convey complex legal concepts with precision and accuracy make it an indispensable tool in our legal and legislative system.”
