A delegation from the UAE Ministry of Culture and Youth visited the Riyadh International Book Fair 2021. Held under the patronage of King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud. The Ministry's delegation participated in the opening of the International Conference of Publishers and the dialogue session presented by Saudi Authority for Intellectual Property. H.E. Mubarak Al Nakhi said: "Riyadh International Book Fair is a renowned cultural event that underlines the importance of books as key tools in spreading culture and knowledge and enriching the intellectual and cognitive thinking. This annual event aims to make reading as a way of life which instills intellectualism in society. Reading is the foundation of a society and has led to cultural renaissances witnessed by many countries and societies. It also supports and reaffirms the status of Saudi Arabia as an incubator and hub of Arab culture, and a global cultural center that brings together writers and intellectuals from all over the world. "The remarkable efforts of Saudi Arabia and the curators of this book fair translate the vision of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, to support the spread of knowledge. Such initiatives strengthen the book industry, an essential engine for the advancement of people and communities culturally, intellectually and creatively."
