The Arab World Institute is a place of culture that is the fruit of a partnership between France and twenty-two Arab countries : Algeria, Saoudi Arabia, Bahrain, Comores, Djibouti, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Jordan, Kowait, Lebanon, Libya, Marocco, Mauritania, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia and Yemen. The IMA, a foundation under French law, was conceived to raise awareness of and to spread Arab culture. Today, it has become a true "cultural bridge" between France and the Arab world. The IMA has set itself three objectives: - Develop and increase the study, knowledge and understanding of the Arab world, its language, its civilisation and its development endeavours in France - Encourage cultural exchanges, communication and co-operation between France and the Arab world, especially in the areas of science and technology - Participate in this way to the development of links between France and the Arab world, this contributing to a closer relationship between the Arab World and Europe.
