• Opening up to other cultures. Such interactionwould be strengthened by translationinto other languages; promoting an intelligentand generous exchange with non-Arab culturesand civilisations; maximising benefitsfrom regional and international organisationsand initiating reform in the world orderthrough stronger inter-Arab cooperation.Al-Kindy: Welcoming the truthregardless of its source“We should not shyaway from welcomingand acquiring the truthregardless of where itcame from, even if itcame from distant racesand nations that aredifferent from us.Nothing is more importantthan seeking thetruth except the truthitself. We should notbelittle the truth, orthose who utter it orbring it.”The pursuit ofknowledge isprompted by religion,culture, history andthe human will tosucceed.As the Report affirms in closing, knowledgeclosely approaches a religious obligationthat Arabs ought to honour and exercise. Itpoints out the way on the Arab journey to adignified and prosperous future. The pursuitof knowledge is prompted by religion, culture,history and the human will to succeed.Obstructions on the road are the work of mortals:the defective structures of the past andpresent – social, economic and, above all, political.Arabs must remove or reform thesestructures in order to take the place they deservein the world of knowledge at the beginningof the knowledge millennium.EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 13
