Like every other year, CIHAR is celebrating its annual meeting, which has been titled ”The Arabic and the Hispanic go hand in hand” for this tenth edition. At the event, the participants will be highlighting this cultural relationship based on historical Spanish-Arab ties, which make it possible for ideas, knowledge and approaches to be shared, thus enhancing the value of this cultural bond.
