Currently, three students from Saudi Arabia are studying at KazNU. The university has a department of Arabistics at the Department of Middle East and South Asia at the Faculty of Oriental Studies.

Duisenov also informed about the University's work with ISESCO, the World Association of Islamic Youth, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and others.

As part of co-operation with the OIC, roundtables, seminars and meetings have been organised since 2019 to discuss scientific and innovation integration, as well as ways to address issues hindering the development of science, technology and innovation in Muslim countries.

In turn, Abdullah bin Saleh Al-Washmi, the academy's secretary general, spoke about the academy's areas of work and shared his views on the prospects for co-operation.
