This contributes to seamless knowledge sharing and supports the sustainable development of communities. At MBRF, we strive to build global platforms for intellectual and knowledge exchange, enabling audiences to discover pioneering literary and scientific works while encouraging dialogue between thought leaders and creative minds from around the world.' H.E. added: 'Through this participation, we aim to reinforce Arab identity and linguistic belonging by highlighting the values of the Arabic language among its speakers and showcasing its beauty through initiatives that improve linguistic research and translate global works into Arabic. These efforts broaden horizons for Arab youth and reaffirm our commitment to supporting the Arabic language and driving innovation in Arabic digital content through impactful partnerships with institutions and organizations participating in the exhibition.' During the event, MBRF's pavilion will also host meetings with entities and key stakeholders concerned with the Arabic language promotion, alongside knowledge-focused activities with its strategic partner, the Istanbul Academy. These efforts provide opportunities for greater collaboration and exchange of expertise to boost knowledge dissemination. The Istanbul International Arabic Book Fair convenes around 300 publishers from over 20 countries, along with various universities, schools, and civil society organizations. It is regarded as the premier cultural and intellectual gathering for the Arab community in Turkey and serves as the largest Arabic book fair outside the Arab world, endorsed by the Arab Publishers' Association.

Jordan's revenues rise by $232mln as public debt drops below 91% of GDP
AMMAN — The Kingdom's domestic revenues increased by approximately JD164.7 million in the first half of 2025, reaching JD4.669 billion compared with JD4.504 billion during the same period last year. Public debt totalled around JD35.3 billion by the end of June 2025, equivalent to 90.9 per cent of GDP, down from 92.7 per cent in May, according to the Jordan news agency, Petra. This reduction followed the Ministry of Finance's repayment of USD1 billion in maturing Eurobonds in June, funded through concessional loans secured in March and April at a competitive interest rate of 4.8 per cent, Petra said. The ministry highlighted that this strategy avoided issuing new Eurobonds, which under current exceptional global and regional conditions could have carried interest rates of up to 9 per cent. © Copyright The Jordan Times.
