About the Arab Thought Foundation
Arab Thought Foundation was established in Beirut, Lebanon in June 2001 as a private, independent, non-government, non-sectarian, nonprofit organization. Formed by some of the region's most prominent individuals, the pan-Arab think-tank seeks to energize cultural awareness and intellectual vitality, historically hallmarks of the Arab world.
Arab Thought Foundation combines human and financial resources to promote and preserve Arab identity. By stimulating private dialogue and public debate among intellectuals, professionals and institutions, it is hoped that Arabs will better understand themselves. The Foundation also hopes that Arabs and the western world can learn to understand each other without burdens of confrontation and misinformation.
In addition to affirming the Arab ethos, success inevitably will bring a greater and much needed recognition of Arab achievements and potential to the international community.
