“As a nation with a foundational belief in promoting cultural and artistic dialogue, the United Arab Emirates is launching the Al Burda Festival as a new platform to cultivate Islamic creativity. The Festival will introduce younger generations to the diverse disciplines of Islamic art and culture, establishing broad intergenerational links that will encourage its continued global development.” – H.E.
