Kazakhstan will cooperate with Saudi Arabia in the field of
archiving. The National Archive of Kazakhstan has signed a memorandum with the
King Abdulaziz Foundation aimed at developing a partnership through joint
projects, exchange of expertise, and scientific research. Both sides anticipate
fruitful cooperation. The partners have extensive archival collections that are
actively being digitized. The King Abdulaziz Foundation is also regarded as one
of the most reputable archival institutions in the Middle East.
«In the future, a bilateral work plan will be developed
under the memorandum. We are considering many joint projects to establish close
ties and strengthen cooperation. For example, our National Archive holds a map
created by the Arab cartographer Al-Idrisi in 1154. This map still requires
further study. Therefore, I believe that scholars from Saudi Arabia and
Kazakhstan will carry out many more joint research projects,» said Sagila
Nurlanova, Director of the National Archive of Kazakhstan.
