Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings,

All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all worlds, and blessings and peace be upon the noblest of prophets and messengers.

Without further ado,

I am delighted to welcome you all to the Chair of Online Dialogue and Cultural Communication Research at King Saud University in collaboration with the Rukn Al-Hawar Association.

This chair represents one of the pioneering initiatives in the field of artificial intelligence and its applications in serving online dialogue and cultural communication among diverse peoples and religions. This stems from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's leading role in this field and its significant responsibility in serving Islam, Muslims, and humanity at large.

This chair aims to support advanced scientific and applied research in the field of online dialogue and cultrual communication, and to develop intelligent outputs that utilize artificial intelligence techniques to address the problems and challenges related to online dialogue and cultural communication in Saudi Arabia and worldwide. Furthermore, it aims to enhance research partnerships with non-profit sectors and civil society to achieve public benefit and sustainable development.

Therefore, I would like to commend King Saud University for its great interest in scientific research and dedication to enhancing the levels of scientific research outputs, innovation, and excellence. Also, for its encouragement of local partnerships with other sectors to promote scientific research and translate it into practical projects that serve society and the nation.

On this occasion, I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to King Saud University for its interest and support for this research chair, and to the Rukn Al-Hawar Association for its partnership and cooperation with us in this important project, and to all researchers, collaborators, and contributors for their efforts in the success of this qualitative work.

I ask Allah the Almighty to grant us all success in what benefits the country and the people, and to make this chair a source of knowledge, benefit, and blessing.
