The event, which takes place in Malaysia under the theme Arabic Language and Civilized Communication, focuses to strengthen the status of the Arabic language, identity and culture on the global level; display the role of the Arabic language in promoting culture and heritage in society; and the importance of preserving the Arabic language, while maintaining its relevance to modernity to ensure that it keeps up with the evolving research, scientific, and technical fields.

The event includes Arabic language experts, poets, and specialists, as well as professors and students from Malaysian universities and those interested in Arabic language from the Malaysian community, taking part in a series of talks, workshops and panel discussions on a range of topics. 

These will include learning Arabic language and new technologies, the challenges of learning Arabic in Malaysia for non-native speakers, and using modern technologies to teach and learn Arabic, with two teams of Malaysian university students participating in an Arabic language debate.
