The National Center for Palms and Dates and the Museums Commission sign a contract.



RIYADH: On Thursday, at the International Dates 

Conference and Exhibition at the Roshan Front 

in Riyadh, the Saudi Museums Commission and 

the National Center for Palms and Dates signed 

an agreement of collaboration. 

The MoU, which was signed by 

Dr. Mohammed Al-Nuwairan, the center's CEO, 

and Khaled Baasiri, the commission's director 

general of partnerships and business development,

 intends to strengthen intergovernmental 

cooperation and promote the Kingdom's cultural

 and historical identity in order to meet the strategic

 goals of Saudi Vision 2030.

In an attempt to create successful cooperation 

between the two parties, it seeks to utilize shared

 capabilities and knowledge to grow the palm and

 dates industry, improve its cultural value,

 and support the national economy.

The agreement was made as part of the two

 organizations' attempts to give the community

 a more stimulating cultural, educational,

 and tourism environment. According 

to Al-Nuwairan, the cooperation

 sought to accomplish important objectives 

that benefited both sectors equally.

"With this collaboration, we hope to enhance dates'

 cultural legacy and worth on a worldwide scale

 and generate viable revenue stream," he stated.

According to Al-Nuwairan, a precise procedure

 had been decided upon in consultation with

 the commission.

This involved creating interactive workshops and

 cultural and educational programs within schools

 and museums to teach the public and students

 about the phases of palm agriculture, 

date processing, and their connection to the 

Kingdom's environmental legacy.

According to Baasiri, the commission was creating

 integrated cultural pathways that would include

 historical farm visits, the creation of a palm tree

 and date museum, and displays that chronicled

 the history of palm trees and dates in the Kingdom. "Dates and palm trees are very significant in our Arab

 culture because they are a sign of generosity and 

genuineness. Because of this, they are a crucial part

 of the museum story, whether in public or specialist

 museums," he stated.

In order to diversify cultural presentation methods

 and develop smart display techniques that helped 

achieve shared strategic goals, Baasiri stated that

 the commission would seek to increase collaboration

 with intersecting government agencies and learn 

about community preferences from various parties.

The action is a step toward making museums 

essential institutions that protect cultural heritage

 and exhibit it in ways that help both domestic and

 foreign tourists become more knowledgeable and

 conscious.
