Georgia to Be the Guest of Honor at Paris Book Fair
After the Frankfurt Book Fair (Frankfurter Buchmesse) 2018, Georgia is to be the Guest of Honor at the Paris Book Fair which will take place from 15th to 18th of March next year.
“We received the invitation from the French side to claim the status of the Guest of Honor at the Paris Book Fair in 2019 and accepted it,” Director of the Georgian National Book Center Medea Metreveli told Imedi TV.
Obtaining the status of Guest of Honor at the Frankfurt Book Fair, which is the world’s largest book fair, was a successful experience for Georgia, as it supported the promotion of Georgian literature, art and culture. It also gave the opportunity to more than 70 authors and publishers to present their works to the huge audiences gathered at the major literary event.
The same triumph is expected to be repeated in France. The event will contribute to the strengthening of the position of Georgia in the international arena and make the country more interesting for foreigners.
