Since the era of King Abdulaziz Al Saud, may Allah bless his soul, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has paid great attention to enhancing education, culture and science in the world through international integration and cooperation. This is achieved by establishing international and regional organizations in addition to the active contribution to establish peace and build bridges of communication and dialogue between the peoples of the world.
