began its activities in Jakarta yesterday. The forum organized by the
Islamic University in partnership with King Abdulaziz University and

of a number of Ambassadors, university directors and other officials.
The President of the Islamic University Dr. Mamdouh bin Saud bin
Thunayan said the Ministry of Education offers scholarships to
distinguished international students from all countries to study at
Saudi universities. The scholarship program provides study in various
disciplines and research fields as part of the Kingdom's leading role
and its belief in the value of people as a pillar in the development of
societies, and as part of the Kingdom's mission in the service of Islam
and Muslims.
Dr. Mamdouh bin Thunayan added that the Cabinet issued a decree to
provide long-term and short-term student visas for students and academic
researchers at the university level, with the goal of sponsoring
distinguished researchers and allowing the Kingdom to become an
incubator for science and knowledge, as well as becoming a vital bub for
teaching the Arabic language and spreading the values of moderation.
The President of the Islamic University said the Ministry of
Education launched the "Study in Saudi Arabia" platform to allow
applicants from all countries to enroll in Saudi universities as part of
its leading effort to launch a scholarship program in line with the
Kingdom's vision.
