At a meeting here Wednesday between the Zayed Foudation’s director Slaim Obaid Al Dhaheri and Nadwatul Ulama’s visiting director general Saeed Al-A’zami Nadawi, both sides discussed ways to further promote cooperation in various areas and enhance the foundation’s support to the institution, the state-run Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported.
While thanking the foundation for its support, Nadawi, who is also the editor of the Al-baas-el-Islami magazine, invited officials of Zayed Foundation to visit the institution to get first-hand experience of its activities and officially open some new colleges.
