KFCRIS Secretary General Dr Saud Al-Sarhan said this agreement reflects KFCRIS' keenness to spread the cultural, literary and scientific heritage of Islam and the Arab world.
KFCRIS was established to continue the mission of the late King Faisal bin Abdulaziz (1906-1975) in transmitting knowledge between KSA and the rest of the world. The centre serves as a platform for research bringing together researchers and institutions to preserve, publish, and produce scholastic work, particularly about the contributions and roles of Muslim societies in the humanities, the social sciences, literature, the and arts – historically, as well as today.
